Ruby Plumeria / Nosegay Frangipani

Plumeria rubra, commonly called nosegay or frangipani, is a small rounded deciduous tree of the dogbane family that grows to 15-25' tall with a vase-shaped form, fleshy branches and a milky sap. It is native to dry, hot areas of Mexico, Central America and Venezuela, but has been introduced over time to tropical areas around the world. Very fragrant 5-petaled flowers (to 4" wide) bloom in terminal clusters at the branch tips from late spring to fall. Flowers are pink to red. Elliptic dark green leaves (to 8-16" long) with undulate margins are spirally clustered at the stem ends. Fruits are cylindrical pods (to 8") that are rarely formed in cultivation.
