Creating a Plumeria Collection

by Clare Corre

Creating your own plumeria collection can be fun and exciting!  You can start plumerias from seeds, cuttings, and grafts, and you can buy plumerias as established trees.  There are so many beautiful species and cultivars available, and many of them are named and registered with the International Plumeria Society (PSA).  However, there are many beautiful plumeria cultivars which aren’t named and registered, and that makes them no less beautiful, significant, or enjoyable.  Colorful and striking plumerias are continuously being discovered and created in Thailand, India, Australia, Singapore, Mexico, and here in the United States among other places.  These undiscovered and created plumeria flowers are often plumeria seedlings.

Plumerias

Of all the things that I grow, plumerias have to be one of my favorite trees for beauty, color, fragrance, and ease of growing.  I have only been growing plumerias for a couple of years now, and so there are others that are much more qualified to impart wisdom concerning their care.  I can, however, share with you my limited growing experience with them in my climate.
