Plumeria rubra acutifolia "Siciliana"

long story made short got this italian variety of plumeria
didn`t even know that plumeria grow in Italy , anyway
the plant have lost all the leaves at the beginning of February
with no sign of sickness or what so ever , still look green and heathy
even without leaves .

this is the one I got


also finger cross another one is on my way.

 

I love Plumeria!

The second one is to die for - it is totally stunning!

 

They drop there leaves unless you keep them warm 20 degrees C or so I put mone in the spare bed room and it keeps leaves all year

 

They look good Sal, the furthest North I have seen them growing outside is in Southern Turkey.

I have kept mine in the greenhouse this winter as they are too big too keep indoors, with a min temp of around 5c they naturally dropped their leaves (far too cold really). They won't regrow till May and I don't know whether they will flower again.

 

actually there is the picture of the person who promise me one ....







the shame is that they don`t have any scent , but with a color like that who cares ....
I will have to wait another month ...finger cross .

 

Spot on! That colour is too good to be picky about little things like scent
