PLUMERIA – FRANGIPANI
Famous for their appearance in Hawaiian leis, white frangipani adds a burst of tropical flair to the garden and has a pleasant floral fragrance. Their plump, soft, five petals partially overlap each other and gently swirl outward, giving these blooms a sculpted appearance. White frangipani has a soft yellow center that fades to pure white near the tips of the flower. Also known as a white plumeria, West Indian Jasmine, this tree has thick, gray-green, succulent branches and long, leathery green leaves. The tree often forms into an umbrella shape. Though they can grow to be quite large, white frangipanis are slow growers. They can be kept in pots for easy moving and to keep them more compact.
Known as frangipani, the plumeria (Plumeria spp.) is a gorgeous tropical flowering tree that has flowing, sculpture-like branches and sweet-smelling flowers. It is a unique and signature item in landscape design in Dubai, plants, and modern garden landscape design, including villa hardscape and new garden designs. When planted, the plumeria tree will add beauty, color, and a luxurious tropical look to gardens, courtyards, pool areas, and outdoor activities (i.e., outdoor living areas). They are ideal for residential landscaping, commercial landscape development, and sustainable landscape design throughout Dubai and the UAE due to their long flowering times, beautiful smells, and their ability to grow well in the UAE's hot climate.
Because of its vibrant flowers, sweet scent and appealing appearance, Plumeria is an excellent choice for landscape design in Dubai. Its tropical appearance makes it an easy care choice; therefore, Plumeria is frequently utilized in villa landscaping, luxurious gardens and hospitality establishments.
