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.
• 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
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.
