Bring sweet summer fragrance and simple care to your sunny yard with frangipani.
Frangipani is a thick-stemmed, deciduous succulent tree that grows between three and eight meters tall. It thrives outdoors in full sun alongside companion plants like hibiscus, bougainvillea, and bird of paradise. Its large, dark green, leathery leaves cluster neatly near the tips of the branches.
Growing this perennial tree is easy, as it needs only moderate watering and handles dry spells well. You can propagate new trees using seeds or branch cuttings. Just take care when pruning, because the stems bleed a sticky white latex and the plant is toxic to humans and pets.
In the summer, frangipani produces waxy, highly fragrant flowers with overlapping petals. These scented blooms naturally attract bees, butterflies, and moths to your yard. It delivers rich fragrance and visiting wildlife with very little effort required from you.
