Why Choose Frangipani?

• Outstanding Flower Power – Expect clusters of iconic, waxy flowers known for their rich, sweet scent, lasting from late spring through summer under the right conditions.
• Versatile Sizing – Supplied at 45–55cm tall (including nursery pot), Frangipani brings immediate tropical allure to patios, conservatories, or bright indoor spaces.

Growing Guide

• Sunlight: Suits bright, warm spots with direct sunlight—ideal for a south-facing windowsill or heated conservatory.
• Watering: Allow soil to dry out between thorough waterings. Overwatering can cause yellowing leaves—Frangipani prefers drought to wet feet.
• Feeding: Use a balanced, slow-release fertiliser during spring for optimal growth and flowering.
• Potting: Keep in the supplied 17cm pot or transplant to a larger container as it matures.
• Safety Note: Plant is poisonous if consumed—keep away from children and pets.

Planting & Care

• Repot every 2–3 years with free-draining compost.
• Reduce watering in late autumn and winter, allowing the plant to rest.
• Fertilise in spring as new growth begins; prune only to shape.
• Requires protection from frost—UK growers should overwinter indoors.

Design Tips

• Pair with other sun-loving, drought-tolerant companions such as succulents, Bougainvillea, or Oleander for a Mediterranean-inspired container display.
• Perfect for balconies, bright conservatories, or as a dramatic specimen on a sunny patio.

FAQs

  Use well-draining, sandy or cactus compost to prevent waterlogging.
