Plumeria
Tropical Plumeria or Frangipani are an easy to care for plant that will add a touch of the tropics to your collection, when they bloom.

Plumeria prefer full sun & are drought tolerant. They come in a multitude of colors, red, pink, white, yellow and there are hundreds if not thousands of hybrids.

Propagation is easy. Let cuttings harden in a shady spot for a few days. Place the cutting in a pot with soil. Do not water until you see new growth.

Plumeria are damaged by frost, but normally will grow back at the base, when grown in the garden. They can be kept in pots & brought inside when cold weather threatens.
