Plumeria Pudica is a beautiful small tree with slender branches and elongated spoon shaped leaves that are not like other frangipanis.
The Pudica is a profuse flowerer and will flower all year round in warmer climates like SE Queensland . It will grow up to 5m but can be kept pruned to a bushy shrub if required. Prune to shape at the start of Spring.
The large clusters of white flowers have a yellow centre and remain on the tree much longer than the common types of Frangipani.
When the tree is very young it may lose some leaves in the winter but once established it is evergreen.
Grow in a warm sunny position with good drainage. They are also well suited to growing in large pots and containers. Mulch and feed with a slow release fertiliser in Spring.
Frangipani Pudica "Everlasting Love" thrives in full sun, which promotes the best growth and flowering. They can be grown both in the ground and in containers. Ensure they are planted in a location that receives at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily.
Frangipani Pudica prefers a warm, tropical to subtropical climate. They are quite tolerant of coastal conditions and can withstand drought once established. They do not tolerate frost and should be protected from temperatures below 5°C.
Plant in well-draining soil. A sandy or loamy soil type is ideal. If planting in pots, use a quality potting mix designed for succulents or cacti. Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.
Fertilise your Frangipani Pudica every 2-3 months during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced, slow-release fertiliser. In autumn and winter, reduce feeding as the plant's growth slows down.
