Beautiful plants that are remarkably easy to grow from their large seeds! We've included an image of some of our seedlings at less than 1 year old!
Plumeria rubra is originally native to Mexico, Central America, Colombia and Venezuela. The species is cultivated around the world in subtropical and tropical climates. In Australia, it is widely seen in cultivation in Sydney and Perth and warmer frost free climates northwards. In the mainland United States, it tolerates USDA hardiness zones 10B to 11 (southern coastal California and the southern tip of Florida). It is also grown in Hawaii to an altitude of 2000 m.
They tolerate a wide variety of soils, from acid to alkaline and sandy to clay. These plants grow best in dry to medium moisture, well-drained soils in full sun and will bloom throughout most of the year in tropical areas.
It grows as a spreading tree to 7-8 m (23-26 ft) high and wide, and is flushed with fragrant pink flowers, with yellow in the center. The flowers give off their fragrance in the morning and in the evening. This fragrance is similar to that of rose, citrus, and cinnamon. The large green leaves can reach 30 to 50 cm (12 to 20 in) long.
In colder temperate areas P. rubra must be grown indoors as it does not tolerate temperatures below 10 C (50 F). However it may be placed outside in a sheltered sunny spot during the summer months.
Plumeria rubra is the national flower of Nicaragua, where it is known under the local name "sacuanjoche". It is also the village flower of Asan-Maina on Guam.
