Product Details
Overview & Specifications
Plumeria rubra 'Blood Red'
Few flowering trees command attention like Plumeria rubra 'Blood Red'. Its deep, velvety crimson blooms and sculptural branching deliver a resort-grade presence that reads equally well in high-end residential landscapes and hospitality projects.
Why Plumeria 'Blood Red'
Exceptional flower colour: Deep, saturated red blooms rare among frangipani varieties, producing striking seasonal impact.
Tropical fragrance: A pronounced, sweet scent through the warmer months, adding sensory value to outdoor spaces.
Architectural form: Broad, layered canopy with sculptural branching structure that reads as a feature specimen year-round.
Heat and drought tolerance: Well suited to warm, dry, and coastal conditions with minimal irrigation requirements once established.
Deciduous character: Sheds in winter and returns with vigorous foliage and blooms in spring, offering a dynamic seasonal rhythm.
Ideal Applications
Feature specimen planting: Deployed as a primary focal point in tropical, resort, or contemporary landscape compositions.
Poolside and water features: Bold crimson blooms contrast with stone, water, and hardscape with striking effect.
Courtyard and terrace planting: Well suited to large containers where scale and visual impact are required in confined spaces.
Coastal and resort projects: Performs reliably in salt-exposed, high-heat environments where lesser species struggle.
Specimen & Installation
Spacing (feature/avenue): 3–5m
Planting Season: Spring to early summer
Soil & Drainage: Well-drained sandy or loamy soil; drought tolerant once established; avoid waterlogged conditions
Establishment Care: Water regularly during the first growing season to establish a strong root system, then reduce frequency as the plant becomes drought tolerant. Avoid overwatering, as plumeria are susceptible to root rot in poorly drained soils.
