Where can I buy a plumeria / frangipani flowering tree from in the UK?

I have a slight obsession with a foreign flowering tree. The plumeria / frangipani. The specific species I would like is the blackjack. But I am open to the whole range of purple flowing variations. Can anyone guide me towards someone willing to sell me a planted already growing blackjack frangipani?! 

Thanks, Jason.

    They are house or conservatory plants in the UK, not hardy enough for outside.
    How can you lie there and think of England

    Hello Doops and welcome to the forum. You can always contact these people and ask them:
    I first encountered these trees when I lived in Malaya (as it was then) back in the early '60s. They are divine.

    Thanks for coming back to me. Looking through their variations, they don’t have a vibrant purple variation. I have reached out to them though. Do you know of anyone else who can maybe help?

    Ta, J.

    Hi J. The only sites I could find seem to just sell the colours shown on the site I gave you the link for. Lets hope that they can get back to you with some help. Seeds are available on Etsy and Amazon but you want one already growing.
