Bringing the Aromas of Hawaii to your Home

Steeped in Hawaiian tradition, Plumeria flowers are still used to make the beautiful garlands or "leis", given as a token of friendship and peace to visitors on their arrival in the islands. Spectacular Colours, Enchanting Fragrances, Fond Memories and more than 150 different varieties all combine to make these stunning plants a real "Tropical Gardeners" delight.

More commonly known in the UK as Frangipani and Desert Roses, yet still incredibly rare, we have found our Plumeria and Adeniums easy to grow and bloom, with only minimal care and attention. They simply require a warm, well lit spot in a Conservatory, Home or Garden and exposure to as much Sun as our climate can offer. A little water and some plant food is all you need add, as well as a good dose of “Patience”, as some Plumeria can take up to 3-5 years to first bloom. But once this happens, your Plumeria will then continue to flower year after year after year.

We sell our Plumeria and Adeniums in a number of forms based around Seedlings and Cuttings. Seedlings are young Plumeria plants that are 6 months old, approximately 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 a truly unique gift.

Cuttings are actual stem tissue cut from a mature Plumeria tree. They are normally between 12-18 inches long, 1 inch in diameter and resemble a gnarled stick. But, once planted they quickly leaf and then generally bloom in only 6–12 months. Planting and care is simple and we enclose full, straightforward instructions with every order.

For the less "green fingered", consider our Rooted Cuttings, where we take your chosen cutting, root it for you and then send it out fully leafed and rooted. At this time of year the process only takes 8-12 weeks and gives complete peace of mind by removing any "Can I do it?" doubt. This option is very popular, as whilst a little bit of patience is needed, cuttings do arrive with you established, growing and ready to become a centrepiece within your home.

But, if you just can’t wait then our Ready Grown Plumeria do offer the ultimate “Instant” solution. These large cuttings have been rooted and grown by ourselves in our climate controlled Nursery over the last 6 months and are ideal for adourning that special place in your home. Each one is at least 40 cm in height, already with roots and leaves and with some even attaining the pedigree of having already been in flower. Despatched in only 3-5 days, each one is individually prepared and packed, with their roots "Wet Wrapped" to allow for easy re-potting. All you need do is unpack, re-pot and sit back and admire.

Prior to despatch all Seedlings, Cuttings and Plants are fully inspected and prepared. They are then hand packed in hardened packaging and despatched by Royal Mail First Class Recorded Delivery. We enclose full Care and Maintenance instructions with every order and are always available online if you have any questions or need any help.

So, if you’d like to try the latest trend in Tropical Gardening, Spice-up an existing collection or simply relive a memory of distant shores or times, order one of our Plumeria or Adeniums and you won’t be disappointed.
