GROWING SOMETHING DIFFERENT IN THE GARDEN

This tree is Plumeria alba, commonly called Frangipani.  It's flower is used in Hawaiian leis.  Yes, we can grow it here just not outdoors year-round.  You will find this in our Perennial Border.  It is only hardy to Zone 10 or above and is native to Puerto Rico.  More plant details may be found here:  PLUMERIA

This plant will be lifted before frost hits.  It was left in a container when planted which will make it easier to move inside.
