Plumeria Pudica (White Frangipani) - Wild Plumeria

About Plumeria Pudica (White Frangipani)

Plumeria pudica, also known as White Frangipani, Lei Flower, or Wild Plumeria, is a shrub that usually grows one or two slender trunks branching close to the ground into a dense, slightly spreading crown. Its unique fiddle- or spoon-shaped leaves are dark green, and large clusters of bright white flowers with small yellow centers cover the plant like a bouquet - though the flowers are not fragrant.

Growing Conditions

• Sunlight: Full sun to light shade - tolerates light shade well.
• Soil: Not fussy; ordinary well-drained soil is sufficient.
• Water: Somewhat drought tolerant; doesn't require special watering care.

Planting & Placement

Grows well both in a pot and directly in the ground. Suitable for outdoor placement in gardens, balconies, or terraces.

Care

• Fertilizer: Minimal feeding needed given its easy-going nature.
• Pruning: Very easy to grow - unlike other plumerias, it doesn't suffer from insect or fungus problems.

Flowering

Produces large clusters of bright white, unscented flowers with small yellow centers.

Note: This listing ships a young nursery plant. Growth and bloom timing vary by climate, care, and region - we don't promise a fixed timeline. Plumeria sap is a mild skin irritant (milky latex) - wear gloves when pruning. Not considered toxic if the flower itself is touched.
