Plumeria (Plumeria)

Renowned for its intoxicating, tropical fragrance, Plumeria is the iconic blossom of Hawaii, where it is lovingly woven into leis. Its waxy, five-petaled flowers emit a rich, sweet perfume that grows stronger in the evening, attracting sphinx moths. Blooming in vibrant shades of white, yellow, pink, and red, it thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. While often grown as a small tree in warm climates, it can be potted elsewhere. Its unforgettable scent and beautiful form evoke a sense of paradise and endless summer.
