Did you know there are more than 300 named varieties of Plumeria? In India, the Plumeria is known as the Fragipani. We often see the Singapore Plumeria adorning Kauai’s landscapes, with it’s beautiful white flower and it’s deliciously fragrant bouquet. This variety is the only Plumeria that is not deciduous - meaning it doesn’t lose all its leaves in the winter - which is why it is so popular among resort landscapes.
While the Singapore Plumeria has become somewhat indigenous to the island, there are many selections that are just as lovely and aromatic. The Yellow Plumeria is another popular Hawaiian selection. It is most commonly used for lei making because it holds up so well and is most fragrant.
During this time of the year, all types of Plumeria are in full bloom, making it a very sensuous time to visit Hawaii. To visit Hawaii and inhale the Plumeria fragrance for the first time, is an experience you can never forget. We encourage all of our clientele to experience Plumeria at its best here on our glorious island.
