Maroon Frangipani (Plumeria sp.) – a compact tropical tree admired for its rich, burgundy-red blooms and exotic fragrance. The deep, velvety flowers appear from mid-summer into autumn, glowing against glossy green foliage. A perfect choice for sunny, coastal gardens or patios where it thrives in warmth and wind.
Why You'll Love It:
• Striking maroon to burgundy blooms with a tropical scent
• Long flowering season from mid-summer through autumn
• Withstands heat, wind and coastal exposure
• Drought-tolerant once established
• Ideal for pots, courtyards and smaller gardens
• Non-invasive roots – safe to plant near paving or walls
Planting & Care:
Position in full sun with freely draining soil mixed with compost. Water deeply, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Feed in midsummer with 2:3:2 or organic flowering fertiliser for abundant blooms. Protect from frost in cooler regions and prune lightly in late winter to maintain shape.
