Plant Description:

A relatively new introduction to Indian gardens. This carefree flowering plumeria forms a slender, multi stemmed shrub to a small tree. It's leaves are curiously shaped like arrow heads - hence the name. The flowers are borne in large bunches. The flowers are of a chalky white shade with the center being slightly yellow.
- The best variety for hedging and making screens.
- Plumerias are beautiful flowering trees from South America.
- They have adapted very well to our climate and are now very much our own now. In fact they are so common that most people do not even know that they have come from a far away land.
- Plants have thick fleshy stems with broad simple leaves.
- The stems and trunk get a twisted and garnled look when old.
- The flowers are borne in huge terminal trusses. They are generally above the foliage.

Growing tips:

As with other plumerias - this one too is easy to grow. It requires good fertile and most importantly well drained soils. Since it has more vertical growth - this plumeria is very suited for screens and hedges. Of course - the problem about using this for a hedge is that - you do not feel like cutting it! The plants are always covered with numerous blooms. So - when cutting is done we recommend that you do a low one. One to two prunings a year may be required to keep the plants in shape.
Group plantings too look splendid. Its use in garden restaurants etc where many people visit at night is great. The flowers almost glow in moonlight. A must have!
