Preface
Our current stock of plumeria are mostly 12" - 14" tall plants in colours of white, red, pink, and yellow.
These plants are rooted in 5" square pots and had fully leafed out in the summer of 2011. Most plumeria varieties are deciduous, with leaf drop taking place in late October or Novermber.  
     A basic plumeria culture info sheet can be viewed or downloaded from our website @
plumeria article. We recommend withholding watering from November until late March in order to encourage flower bud formation. Detailed cultural information can be found in 'The Handbook on Plumeria Culture'.
