Good news! We've received a new delivery of these very special Frangipani or Plumeria plants.
As pictured they are lovely strong plants with at least 2 strong stems and one colourful flower spike. Choose from named varieties including Divine, Captivate and the smaller flowered Thumbalina variety using the box below, or leave it up to us to choose the nicest looking on the day.
Please note at this time of year the blooms are faded colours and they all look cream with a hint of yellow in the centre and pink on the underside as in the close ups.
Plumeria or Frangipani are extremely rare and special plants. They start flowering in mid to late June, (maybe sooner if we get plenty of sunshine!) and their pretty flowers have a lovely sweet scent. They are a great houseplant for a keen gardener who will appreciate the rarity of these gorgeous plants.
These special plants are grown for us by a top Plumeria grower in Sicily and we will have a number of fabulous named varieties to choose from. Please do make a note below if you have a preference on flower colour or variety otherwise we will just choose the nicest looking plant for you on the day.

The plant is in excellent condition with many flowers open and lots of buds to come. A few had dropped off in transit but the packaging protected the plant during transit very well. I love the outer pot colour which I was able to choose and came with the plant at no extra cost.
Lovely big plant with 3 branches and full of blooms, beautiful Hawaiian flowers to look at.

Looking after your Plumerias
Plumerias, also known as Frangipani, are tropical plants that originate in Hawaii and are used to make the islands famous ‘leis’. They are therefore sun lovers and need a bit of coddling here in the UK. A warm sunny windowsill is best, ideally somewhere out of any draughts and away from any radiators.
They are best watered little and often, up to 3 or 4 times a week if the weather is warm. They don’t like soggy soil though so try to make sure they are not left standing in water.
The dramatic scented blooms develop from the branch tips and will slowly open over several weeks. To keep them flowering use a high phosphorous feed – something like tomato feed every couple of weeks throughout the summer and when they seem to stop flowering hold back a bit on the watering so that they dry out a little more in the winter months.
Despite their exotic origins Plumerias are very rewarding plants and with a little care will provide a stunning display all summer long.
Problem solving
Most problems with leaf drop or soft stems are caused by overwatering so do err on the side of caution if you are not sure. They don’t tend to suffer from many pests but look out for red spider mite and treat early if you suspect there is a problem.
