Welcome To Our World Of Plumeria
Plumeria or Frangipani, whichever you prefer to call them, are some of nature's most exotic and beautiful plants. Over the years they have become world famous for their association with the Far East, Africa and the beautiful Hawaiian islands. Steeped in tradition, plumeria are the actual flowers used to make the beautiful garlands or leis, which are given in friendship to visitors on arrival in the islands. Spectacular colours, enchanting fragrances and very fond memories all combine to make these incredible plants a real tropical gardeners delight.

We first came across plumerias whilst in Hawaii many years ago and immediately fell in love with them. Since then we have devoted our time to introducing and establishing them here in the UK. Our own Nursery is constantly striving to find ways and means of improving their performance in our climate and our experiences and unique climate controlled facilities do allow us to offer the best quality, pre-acclimatised, ready potted specimins throughout the season.

'My plumeria are just perfect! They remind me so much of my wedding in Sri Lanka
I will be ordering another. Thanks' Mrs VR, York

All our Plumeria are easy to grow and bloom and require only minimal care and attention. They simply need a warm, well lit spot in a conservatory, home or garden and exposure to as much sun as your climate can offer. A little water and some of our specialised plant food is then all you need add. Subject to conditions blooming can happen as early as the first summer and by using the products in our Essential Supplies catalogue and the advice given in our Best Practice Newsletters you can always rest assured, knowing your doing everything you need to achieve success.

'Your instructions are excellent. Lots of detail and very easy to follow

We sell our plumeria in a number of forms, to suit all pockets and occasions. Seedlings are young plumeria plants that are approximately 6 months old, 3-6 inches tall and bloom in 2-3 years. They come potted and growing, with full instructions, all ready to be placed and cared for. To guarantee quality, all our seedlings are hand reared from named seeds in our climate controlled nursery and whilst not all grow true to their parent, are very easy to look after, fascinating to behold and do make truly unique gifts.

'I am really impressed. My plumeria seedling is fantastic
Many Thanks.' Mrs GM, Taunton
|

Seeds of all our wonderful varieties are available in packets of 10, giving everyone the perfect opportunity to have a go at growing their own. It's not difficult and full instructions are included, thou we do recommend using some of our SuperThrive and Leafdew Plumeria Mist to get them properly started. And whilst it's important to remember that not all seeds grow true to their parent, it can be great fun and a truly rewarding experience.

'The seeds arrived very promptly. They are now planted and I am looking forward to my first shoot
Thanks again.' Mr MK, Edinburgh

Tree Cuttings are actual stem tissue cut from mature plumeria trees. They are normally between 12-18 inches long, 1 inch in diameter and resemble a thick, gnarled branch. But once planted they quickly leaf and then generally bloom in only 12-18 months. Planting and care does require some skill, but we do provide detailed instructions to help make this a little easier.

If your in no rush or you'd prefer a plumeria plant that is already potted and leafed, then our Grow To Order Service is an excellent solution. It enables you to have the plumeria plant of your choice professionally prepared and brought into full leaf by us in our climate controlled nursery. In season the process generally takes 10-12 weeks, and we are always happy to keep and care for plumerias for longer if desired. Then when everyone's ready we despatch your plumeria to you, already potted and in leaf, giving you a ready grown plumeria plant at a reduced price.
