The flowers are intensely fragrant with a sweet, jasmine-like perfume, carried in generous clusters over glossy green leaves. It is a vigorous, fast-establishing frangipani that makes a showy specimen tree or a statement container plant. Like all plumerias, it thrives in Adelaide's warm, frost-free microclimates, and container plants can be moved under cover during winter cold snaps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3–5 m H × 3–4 m W in-ground in Adelaide (can reach 7 m+ in tropical climates); compact and manageable when container-grown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Rate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate to fast; 30–50 cm per year in warm conditions; establishes in 2–3 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Large glossy green leaves; deciduous in winter, showcasing sculptural branches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlowers:\u003c\/strong\u003e Large single blooms in soft pink and white with a golden-yellow to orange centre; intensely fragrant (jasmine-like); clusters from late spring through summer into autumn (Nov–Apr in SA)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeasonal Interest:\u003c\/strong\u003e Late spring leaf-out → summer clusters of pink-and-gold blooms → winter architectural branching\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWildlife Value:\u003c\/strong\u003e Attracts Butterflies; Good for Pollinators (fragrant blooms draw night-flying moths)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTolerance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Drought-Tolerant (once established), Heat-Tolerant, Coastal-Tolerant.

Its warm colouring suits tropical and resort-style gardens as well as Mediterranean courtyards. Grow it in a large decorative pot beside a doorway or on a sunny terrace—pots let you follow the sun and shelter it from winter cold. Underplant with heat-loving, drought-tolerant companions like Portulaca, Evolvulus or Gazania, or pair with Agave, Aloe, Bougainvillea, Hibiscus, Kangaroo Paw and Lomandra. The bare, sculptural winter branches contrast well with evergreen plantings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy You Will Love It\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBig, soft pink blooms washed with gold give a sunset look that stands out even among frangipanis. The sweet, jasmine-like perfume is strongest on warm evenings, making it a natural fit for summer entertaining. It grows quickly for a frangipani, so you get a flowering specimen sooner. Low water needs once established suit Adelaide's dry summers, and with a warm, sheltered spot it rewards you with months of fragrant flowers every year.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Adelaide Plant Co","offers":[{"title":"200mm Pot","offer_id":67605511667964,"sku":"PLUM-HARN-ST-200MM","price":28.49,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/9282\/0220\/files\/plumeria-harney-st-frangipanni-200mm-pot-adelaide-plant-co_2d6733e3-36af-4743-b778-e9452506bcfe.jpg?v=1790886064","url":"https:\/\/adelaideplantco.com.au\/products\/plumeria-harney-st","provider":"Adelaide Plant Co","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
