They thrive with little maintenance, are easy to strike from cuttings and look pretty in float bowls all summer longSize matters Mature frangipanis can grow to around 6m high and 5m wide, although older trees can be taller in tropical climates. They grow slowly, only about 20cm per year. This, along with their small root ball, makes them ideal for planting around pools, in planter beds, containers and beside walls, as there is no fear the roots will harm any structures. If they become top heavy they can be pruned without fear of failure.

On the balcony
For gardeners restricted to containers on terraces, roof gardens, balconies and patios, low-care frangipanis are the perfect choice. They grow well in pots, flowering reliably every summer. Choose a quality potting mix and a wide, shallow pot and away you go.

What they need
Frangipanis can flower from December to April, and thrive in well-drained soil, plenty of sun and frost-free conditions. They love growing by the beach in sandy soils and are one of the best trees for tolerating salty air along the coast. They will struggle in clay soils, where it is hard for water to drain away – in this case it is best to keep them growing in large containers. Water only during spring and summer, and hold off completely during the cooler months. You’ll be pleased to know that frangipani rarely need feeding, although they will flower bigger and better than ever if you spread some fertiliser around the drip line (under the branches) during spring and summer.

In cooler areas it is still possible to grow frangipani if the microclimate around the house is warm. Radiating sun and heat from brick paving, walls or mirrors will help the frangipani withstand cooler winters, so keep them close to the house. In frosty areas it is still possible to grow frangipanis in containers, which should be brought inside during winter.
