Plumeria rubra — Frangipani — ลีลาวดี
Plumeria rubra, commonly known as frangipani, is a deciduous tree or shrub native to Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean. It is a popular ornamental plant due to its attractive flowers and fragrant scent.
The frangipani tree typically grows to a height of 20–30 feet, with a wide, spreading canopy. The leaves are large and lanceolate, with a glossy green upper surface and a paler green underside. The flowers are fragrant and star-shaped, with five petals that can be white, pink, yellow, or red.
Frangipani trees are easy to grow and care for, and they are relatively drought-tolerant. They thrive in warm climates with full sun and well-drained soil. They can be grown in containers, but they will eventually outgrow the pot and need to be transplanted into the ground.
Frangipani trees are a beautiful and fragrant addition to any garden. They are also a popular choice for landscaping around homes and businesses. The flowers are often used in leis and other floral arrangements.
