I have some oil and love the scent and the flowers, are they hard to grow from seed or would I be better off hunting down a plant?
I assume they'll have to be kept inside given they're Australian originally?

According to the RHS website it's H1b, so not very hardy but can be grown outside in summer. It's toxic, tough.

Maybe it'll have to wait until I get that holiday home in Italy then...
...I can dream!
Hi. I have some wonderful plumerias of a collection called Jungle Jack's .They are miniature, compact and can grow virtually anywhere. Of the three varieties 2 are blossoming right now.
Where do you grow yours? I asked this recently as would love some in my conservatory to remind us of Hawaii
The divine one is not that scented.One of my miniature (thumbalina) has a strong fragrance reminiscent of citrus fruit. A friend of mine's bought a bright and yellow Inca Gold
.
Thumbalina
I would love to get my hands on some of those miniature ones. Can you buy them in the UK?
I can't post you here a shop address .They have a wide selection of plumeria. You can definitely buy them online from Italy.
When the plant is dormant (with no leaves) ,it doesn't need light. You can keep it in any corner of your house.Temperatures below 10 degrees Celsius can damage the plants
Of course they ship to UK ,and the site is in english.
