Why Plumeria is the World's "Perfect Plant"
(Also known as Frangipani or Melia)
At Just Plumerias, we consider this the ultimate plant for both master gardeners and beginners.
It offers exotic Hawaiian beauty with surprisingly low maintenance.
"Sand + Sun = You're Done!"
1. Endless Blooms & Exotic Scents
Unlike flowers that bloom for a week and die, Plumerias are marathon runners.
- Long Blooming Season: Expect flowers from April through November. While individual petals shed, the "inflorescence" (bloom pod) keeps pumping out new flowers for months.
- Designer Fragrances: Every color has a unique personality. Scents range from classic Coconut & Jasmine to complex notes of Citrus, Peach, and Spice.
2. Grow Them Anywhere (Florida to Ohio)
You do not need to live in the tropics to own a piece of Hawaii. The Plumeria is incredibly versatile.
- In Warm Climates (Zones 10+): Plant them in the ground, and they can grow into magnificent 20-foot trees.
- For Patios (Everywhere Else): Plumerias are "Root Constrained." This is a magical feature! They only grow to the size of the pot you provide. This makes them the perfect potted plant for decks, pools, and driveways.
3. The Easiest Winter Care in the World
Terrified of killing plants in winter? Plumerias make it easy. When temperatures drop below 50°F, you have two choices:
Option A: Let it Sleep (Dormancy)
Most Plumerias are deciduous. They drop their leaves in winter.
The Method: Put the pot in a closet, basement, or garage. No light needed. No water needed. It sleeps until spring!
Option B: Keep it Green
Don't want a bare stick in winter? Choose the Singapore White variety.
The Method: Keep it warm indoors near a sunny window, and it keeps its glossy leaves all year round.
