Bring the scent of the tropics to your garden with the iconic frangipani.

The frangipani is an iconic tropical tree known for its thick, succulent branches and spiral clusters of fragrant flowers. This perennial plant can grow between four and eight meters tall, making it a beautiful feature in warm-climate gardens. It fits naturally alongside other sun-loving companion plants like hibiscus and bougainvillea.

To grow this tree successfully, you will need to give it a spot with full sunlight. It requires moderate watering and is drought-tolerant, making its care level highly manageable for beginners. You can cultivate it outdoors in the ground, or keep it in a container as an indoor plant.

From summer through autumn, the intensely fragrant blooms will fill your garden and attract beautiful pollinators like moths and butterflies. While you must keep your pets and family safe from its toxic parts, the tree is highly rewarding and easy to propagate from simple cuttings. Its sweet-scented blossoms make this plant well worth a second look.
