Frangipani flowers have great perfume and a huge range of colours from white with pink through to yellow, purple and red. These fragrant flowers are a fantastic addition to the garden as well a great cut flower. For Melbourne, Victoria and Adelaide try growing Frangipani rubra, it does seems to be the best, but no frost and good drainage. Frangipani FertilizerFrangipanis need appropriate fertiliser in most Australian soils, in pots a slow release fertilizer is usually sufficient. In the ground try digging in some well rotted animal manure and potash before planting, and use a mulch with well rotted manure, and ash. Any fertilizer with a high in N.P.K is suitable in most cases, but the experts say to stay away from those with a very high P (phosphorous) count. We suggest the well rotted compost and animal manure, watered with a seaweed fertilizer and some added potash is a good homemade fertilizer for many Australian soils. Growing Frangipani plants and flowersGrowing in PotsPlants that you buy can be easily pruned and will do well in pots. We suggest a well drained heavy terra cotta pot. As they require a well drained soil use a potting mix that does not have any added 'water saving crystals' or similar, these can cause root rot in frangipani plants.Hybrids and CultivarsWith many new interesting hybrids now available to buy watch out for new flower forms and colors.Dwarf Frangipani Trees'Dwarf' or miniature cultivars such as Duvauchelle (Dwarf) and Dwarf deciduous white cultivars.Frangipani CuttingsEasily grown from cuttings, although they are often very slow to 'get going'. With such a great variety of established frangipani trees available growing frangipani from cuttings is left to the enthusiast. Cuttings can be taken as hardwood cuttings in winter, or softwood cuttings in spring to summer. In either case let the wound heal before planting in a sharp sand and compost. Cuttings will need support while new root systems form. |

Growing Frangipania plants in cool climates. The coldest place we have heard of where frangipani plants are growing is in Switzerland, and yes they are grown indoors. In Australia try Noojee at the foot of the Great Dividing Range, and yes again they are grown indoors. However given the right conditions and a little care you can successfully grow Frangipani plants in Melbourne (outdoors). |
