Product Description
The White frangipani, scientifically known as Plumeria alba, is a highly cherished plant in Australia due to its appealing aesthetics and beautiful, potent fragrance. This plant can grow into a small tree and produces white flowers with yellow centers that are highly attractive. These flowers are particularly eye-catching during the summer and spring months. It is indigenous to warm tropical areas of the Pacific Islands, Caribbean, and South America but thrives very well in most parts of Australia due to its adaptability to diverse climatic conditions.
Alternative Names:
White frangipani is also commonly referred to as 'Leelawadee,' 'Frangipani,' or 'Temple tree.'
Care Guide:
Growing and caring for white frangipani in Australia is generally easy due to the plant's low maintenance needs. The plant is known for its hardiness and ability to tolerate fairly poor soil and low water levels.
1. Light: Frangipanis love the sun, so plant them in a position that gets at least six hours of sunlight daily.
2. Water: Water thoroughly but infrequently, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. Over-watering can lead to rot.
3. Soil: Plant in a well-drained soil. It doesn't have to be rich as frangipanis can handle less nutrient-dense soils.
4. Temperature: Frangipanis handle hot weather well and can survive mild frosts, but it's recommended to protect them in heavy frosts.
5. Pruning: Prune in late winter or early spring to shape the plant and promote more compact growth.
6. Fertilizer: Apply a slow-release fertiliser in spring and a liquid feed in summer to help the plant's growth.
7. Pests: Keep an eye out for frangipani rust which can cause leaves to drop. It can be treated with fungicides.
In general, Frangipani is a tough plant that can tolerate drought and salty breezes which makes it an excellent choice for seaside gardening. It requires minimal care, and once established, it can take care of itself.
