Plumeria (Frangipani), botanically known as Plumeria rubra, is a stunning tropical flowering tree beloved for its vibrant, intensely fragrant blooms. This live plant arrives in a 3.5 gallon (13.1 liter) grower's pot, offering a well-established root system ready to thrive in your garden or patio. The flowers bloom at the tips of branches in a range of colors including pink, red, yellow, and white, each with a contrasting center and a sweet, distinctive fragrance.

Plumeria is a deciduous tree or shrub that can grow up to 25 feet tall in tropical climates, featuring a graceful vase or umbrella shape with thick, fleshy branches and large, deep green leaves clustered at the tips. It is a classic choice for Hawaiian leis and is widely used in tropical landscaping, container gardening, and as a patio specimen. The blooming season typically runs from May through November, depending on climate and growing conditions.

This plant thrives in full sun, requiring at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily. It prefers well-draining soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0–7.0) and benefits from deep, infrequent watering, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Reduce watering significantly during the winter dormant period. Plumeria is cold-sensitive and should be protected from temperatures below 35°F (1.6°C); in cooler climates, grow it in a container that can be brought indoors during winter. Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth emerges to encourage branching and more abundant flowering. Fertilize regularly during the growing season with a phosphorus-rich fertilizer to promote prolific blooms.
