Bring romantic fragrance to the garden, as well as a choice of warm, tropical
colours with these beautiful Frangipanis. They thrive in the warmer climates and
in the cooler or inland areas, grow them against a warm masonry wall, in a north
facing position and protect them from frost but if effected, they will bounce
back in spring. Flowering December to April, Frangipanis grow up to 6-8m tall.
Not available May - August.
Growing Notes:
- PLANTING TIME: June-Aug
- DEPTH: Plant to soil depth
- SIZE: Typically 1.5-3m W x 2-6m H
- POSITION: Full Sun to semi shade.
- FLOWERING TIME Nov-Jan
- WATERING: Water well during the warmer months (leave them to nature in the cooler months)
Frangipanis
are fairly drought tolerant but perform best when watered weekly. In
pots, allow potting mix to dry out between thorough waterings.
- FERTILISING:
Fertilise twice a year at the beginning of spring and during summer
with a slow release fertiliser high in phosphate for strong root growth
which will in turn promote the most blooms.
- LIFTING AND STORAGE Transplant Frangipani or prune them when dormant in the cooler months.
- PESTS
Relatively pest and disease free, but will defoliate when cold. Black
tip fungus can occur after frosts and is treated by pruning to below
the affected wood. Cleaning up and disposing of leaves after leaf drop
will assist the spread of any disease.
- TIPS: Frangipanis will
grow and flower well as far south as Sydney and Perth, particularly in
coastal gardens. In colder or inland areas grow them against a warm
masonry wall, in a north facing position and protect them from frost.
DO
NOT water whilst dormant as this will cause the plants to rot. Slight
wrinkles in the stem tips at the end of winter is normal and plants
should recover once dormancy breaks and normal watering can resume.
