Plumeria Rubra
Overview
Plumeria rubra, commonly known as Frangipani, is a tropical beauty renowned for its vibrant and fragrant flowers in hues from white to deep red. This small, deciduous tree matures around 20 feet tall, with a wide canopy of up to 25 feet. Thriving in full sun, it requires well-draining soil. Frost-sensitive, Plumerias are ideal for USDA zones 10-11, and their lush blooms are summer mainstays, perfect for accenting any warm-climate garden.
