Notice (February 2009)
We had great weather up to Christmas for frangipanis. The dry weather encouraged flowering and the long dry spell meant flowers were not knocked to the ground. At the beginning of December, we had a sea of frangipani flowers but around mid December the weather changed and the heavy rains and strong winds knocked about 90% of flowers off to the ground. At the moment, the evergreen varieties, such as the Singapore white, have the most flowers especially the larger stock.

Thank you
Whether you are one of loyal customers, a new customer or a customer buying one frangipani plant in a nursery, thank you for sharing our love for frangipanis and may the frangipani flower colours and frangipani flower scent bring you peace and happiness. Have a great frangipani season!

Frangipani Fever

Although frangipani fever probably reached its peak in the 70's thanks to the pursuit of world peace, political harmony and the popularity of the flower in general, frangipanis have attained a constant popularity.
Since frangipani trees are often found near coastlines and tropical holiday resorts, many people associated frangipani flowers with relaxing on the beach or enjoying a holiday in a tropical location. It's only natural that some or many people want to see the image of a frangipani flower in their daily life. Having a frangipani tree in the yard or a frangipani flower sticker on the rear window of  the family car not only allows you to regularly see the image of a frangipani flower and experience its soothing qualities but also to share this with those around you.
It's possible to purchase almost anything with a frangipani flower image on it. Dresses, bikinis, fashion accessories, toys, bed linen, pillow cases, notebooks, place mats, plates, candles, gift cards, pencil cases, framed pictures, wall posters, calendars, car stickers, car number plates and the list goes on.

Drought Resistance
Like most plants, after putting frangipani plants into the ground, they will need regular water to settle into their new environment. After becoming established frangipani plants will live a long life and endure the hottest and driest of Australian summers.

Frangipani Height
Frangipanis can be grown from seed and can reach heights of up to eight metres in tropical regions. Some species are considered "dwarf frangipanis" because their maximum height reaches only around 3 metres and even less in cooler climates.

Frangipanis Love Full Sun.
It is easy to notice that large frangipani trees in full sun do very well. In areas where winters are cool, frangipani plants should be planted in as much sun as possible and near heat absorbing materials such as brick walls and concrete paths. 

While frangipanis are still small, they can be shaded from the strong summer sun to get more luscious foliage. Depending on the species of frangipani, moving potted frangipanis from full shade to full sun will probably result in the leaves getting sun burnt. If the summer days reach the high 30s, it's possible for frangipani leaves, even on large trees, to become burnt. Burnt leaves will not kill the frangipani plant so a sunny position to survive the winter is more important.

Frangipani Flowers
The frangipani flower has distinct colours and an easily recognizable shape. Thanks to the popularity of the frangipani flower, they can be seen in almost every aspect of our society.

Frangipani Colours
Frangipani flowers come in a range of colours. Some are two toned such as yellow and white  (known as "white") or pink and white (known as "pink"). Some have a pure or almost uniform colour such as reds and yellows. While some "pinks" actually have some orange or yellow in the middle, those with less pink and more orange/yellow are known as either "tricolour", "rainbow", "apricot" or "fruit salad".

When analyzed closely, there are hundreds of variations within the above common groups of frangipanis. Variations which consistently show a unique feature in their flower such as flower shape, colour tone and colour positioning, are often given a new name by the discoverer, or rather the first person to document their discovery.

Evergreen Frangipanis (Obtusas)
Plumeria obtusa varieties are the most popular evergreen frangipanis. In the tropics, frangipani obtusas can keep their leaves throughout the winter but in other areas like South East Queensland, they usually lose their leaves like other traditional frangipani species.
There are two types of plumeria obtusa. The Singapore White and the Singapore Pink. Our Singapore Pink is a dwarf frangipani and is also known as Darwin Petite Pink. Both the pink obtusa and white obtusa lose their leaves a couple of months later than the traditional frangipanis.
Evergreen obtusas are more sensitive to the cold and more delicate in general. I suspect that traditional frangipanis lose their leaves to go into dormancy to protect themselves from the winter. On the other hand, since obtusas are from the tropics, the trigger to go into dormancy is not as affective.
I have noticed that some people in Brisbane have got the positioning and conditions perfect enough so that their Singapore Whites keep their leaves all year round, but these cases are the minority.

Other Evergreen Frangipanis
Other evergreen frangipanis include plumeria pudica and plumeria stenophylla. Like the obtusas, they keep their leaves longer than common frangipanis but their leaves can turn yellow and some leaves are likely to drop off in the cold of the winter.
