An unusual shaped pure yellow flower emerges a very deep golden yellow and fades to pure butter yellow.
The back of flower is yellow and pink. Special Comments: Frangipani's are very drought, salt and fire tolerant plants. They respond well to pruning and grow well in large pots. Do not water in winter once established. Keep an eye out for rust pustules, which look like bright orange dots on the underside of the leaf. Rust is more likely in areas of high humidity. Spray with Ecofungicide at the first sign.
Make sure the pot is solid enough to support the weight of the frangipani. Also, frangipani are fairly shallow rooted, so don't place in a tall thin pot. You may need to stake up at first depending on the size of your cutting. Water it in once, then leave for 2 weeks unless it is really hot where you are. I am often asked whether there are male and female frangipani plants and do you need one of each to get seed pods. The answer is no - each frangipani flower contains both male and female parts within it.
Frangipanis need a pollinator to produce seed. Their most common pollinator is the sphinx moth, which is fairly hard to come by. It is possible to self pollinate frangipani by hand using some fishing line enter it into the throat of the flower and try some get some of the pollen onto the female parts. I suspect it's a bit hit and miss, although I have given it a try myself this summer — I guess I'll know next year how successful it is!
You should have no problems with frangipanis. Frangipanis have a small root ball, which 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. They are generally non invasive and some frangipanis have such shallow roots they have been known to blow over in high winds. Frangipanis normally root very well. If the frangipani is recently purchased you bought it that size and it didn't have a good root system when taken out of its pot , it could be that someone has just taken too big a cutting the best size is around a metre and it's taking a while to root.
I did that once when I was first starting out - I had a piece about a metre and a half tall and a metre wide! I had to prop it up against a wall and prop the sides for about 2 years until it had rooted properly. If your plant has been in the ground for a while, then we need to look at the conditions it is in rather than the plant itself.
Is it planted at the right level, is it in free draining soil, is it planted in a sunny sheltered position against a wall is ideal , is it badly positioned at the bottom of a hill getting alll the rain run off?
Frangipanis love sun and hate wet roots, so take care of these two items first. If you don't have a suitable spot in the garden, put your frangipani in a pot against a sunny wall. Frangipanis don't mind being moved, so long as you do it at the right time!
Depending on the size, if it's really really huge, you might need to hire a crane to lift it. The best time to move and replant a frangipani is in late winter when the plant is dormant. Take as much of the root ball as you can, and replant into the new area. Do NOT water it in. Make sure the new hole is deep enough so that the plant sits at the same ground level as before. You should choose a position that has good drainage, lots of sun, and protection from cold winds and frosts.
Do not replant if you have just had a few weeks of rain and your soil is waterlogged - wait a few days until the soil dries out. Frangipani Sticker Set. UV resistant and available in either pink or white.
