White Frangipani, Singapore Plumeria, Blunt-Nose Frangipani, Singapore Graveyard Flower, Pagoda Tree
Fast-growing, Plumeria obtusa (Singapore Plumeria) is a small rounded tree boasting sweetly fragrant white flowers, 3 in. across (7 cm), adorned with yellow throats and rounded petals that often are recurved at the tips. Blooming from spring to fall, the blossoms are borne in bouquet-like clusters at the branch tips. Leathery, narrowly elliptic, shiny dark green leaves with rounded tips, 8 in. long (20 cm), are clustered near the tips of the thick, fleshy, succulent branches. Nearly evergreen, White Frangipani works well as a freestanding specimen, a patio tree, or as part of a mixed shrub border. The wonderfully scented flowers are often made into leis or worn in the hair.
