About this item:
The Plumeria is renowned for its vibrant blooms which appear on shrubs and small trees that display widely spaced thick succulent branches. These plants exhibit a variety of leaf shapes and growth habits, ranging from narrow, corrugated leaves to glossy, elongated, dark-green leaves. Some varieties are evergreen, continuously displaying their leaves. The fragrant flowers of the Plumeria are most noticeable at night, aiming to attract sphinx moths for pollination. Despite lacking nectar, they manage to pollinate through the activities of these moths. Plumeria’s scent, a mix of jasmine, citrus, spices, gardenia, and more, has gained global popularity, often incorporated into various incenses such as Nag Champa. This plant can be grown in containers in colder regions, serving as beautiful decorative plants for patios or greenhouses. In milder climates, they can flourish outdoors, enhancing gardens as small yet stunning landscape trees. During colder spells, they can be stored in a frost-free area until warmer weather permits outdoor replanting. Plumeria rewards gardeners with up to three months of blooming, offering daily blossoms that can remain fresh for days when submerged in water. These features make it a cherished plant in many tropical regions, frequently used in traditional lei-making for its long-lasting and colorful flowers.
