The fragrance of the tropics from Central America
Native to Central America, the Plumeria captivates with its thick, waxy flowers and intoxicating fragrance, borne at the tips of fleshy silvery branches.
Heat- and sun-loving, it forms a small sculptural tree that rewards patience with unforgettable, fragrant summer flowering.
"The Plumeria perfumes a whole garden from a single flowering branch."
