Frangipani, also known as Plumeria, is a tropical and subtropical flowering plant that is renowned for its exquisite beauty and enchanting fragrance. These plants are native to the Caribbean, Central America, and Mexico, but they are widely cultivated in many warm regions around the world. Frangipani trees typically grow to a height of 6 to 25 feet and are characterized by their thick, succulent branches and large, leathery leaves. The flowers of the Frangipani are the plant's most distinctive feature, boasting a star-like shape with five petals that can come in a variety of colors including white, yellow, pink, red, and multiple shades in between. The blossoms emit a sweet, intoxicating scent that intensifies at night, attracting pollinators such as moths. Frangipani is often used in landscaping for its ornamental value and is a popular choice for gardens, parks, and as a decorative plant in tropical and subtropical climates. The flowers are also commonly used in making leis and other floral arrangements. Despite its delicate appearance, Frangipani is a hardy plant that can tolerate drought and poor soil conditions, making it relatively easy to care for.
