Plumeria rubra Tricolour is a mutation of the Red Frangipania that features exotic, multicoloured flowers in pinks, yellow, white, orange and red.
This is a popular, deciduous shrub or small tree with rounded canopy of leaves that are long, oval, pointed at the tip and with a veined appearance.
The splendid five-petalled flowers are richly fragrant with a matte lustre to them and will add a tropical touch to any garden with a warm climate.
The branches are plump, weak and fleshy and contain a poisonous, milky sap, though they are rarely a problem to humans and animals as the sap tastes disgusting.
Frangipani are easy to cultivate and provide welcome shade on hot days, apart, of course from the intoxicating fragrance which is perhaps its greatest asset..
