Plumeria alba

Pagoda tree/White frangipani

Shrub or tree with stout branches and thick leathery leaves up to 40 cm in length, tapering to a point. The underside of the leaf is hairy and the leaf margin curved. The compact, vigorous inflorescences have numerous white flowers with a yellow centre. The five petals are turned inwards in an anti-clockwise direction. Frangipani forms two follicle fruits per flower.

The white and yellow flowers give off a bewitching sweet fragrance and in many places are seen as the very embodiment of an exotic flower. Plumeria is also considered to be a symbol of immortality.

We are really looking forward to our frangipani flowering soon.
