This is an assorted selection, so colour will vary between white and gold, soft pink, apricot and deeper rose depending on availability. What does not vary is the habit, a broad low-branched crown that casts dappled shade and looks sculptural even bare in winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy Frangipani\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFragrance\u003c\/strong\u003e: The scent carries several metres on a warm evening, which is why it is so often planted near outdoor living areas.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLong flowering\u003c\/strong\u003e: Flushes repeatedly through the warm months rather than giving one short burst.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWinter silhouette\u003c\/strong\u003e: Drops its leaves in cooler weather and stands as a candelabra of pale grey limbs, a genuine architectural asset.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrought hardiness\u003c\/strong\u003e: Thick succulent branches store water, so established trees need very little once settled.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoastal tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: Handles salt-laden air and sandy soils well, provided drainage is free.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eIdeal Applications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoolside planting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Non-invasive roots and a light leaf drop make it one of the better trees near a pool surround.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCourtyard shade\u003c\/strong\u003e: The wide flat crown throws soft shade over a paved entertaining area.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoastal and resort gardens\u003c\/strong\u003e: Sets the tropical tone alongside palms, cordylines and strappy foliage.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLarge containers\u003c\/strong\u003e: Grows happily in a substantial pot for years, which suits balconies and rooftop terraces.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecimen \u0026amp; Installation\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing (screening\/hedge):\u003c\/strong\u003e 3 to 4m for a loose informal group\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing (feature\/avenue):\u003c\/strong\u003e 5 to 6m to allow the crown to spread\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBest Planting Season:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spring and early summer, once soil has warmed; avoid planting into cold wet ground\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil \u0026amp; Drainage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sandy or gravelly free-draining soil is essential; wet feet in winter is the single most common cause of failure\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEstablishment Care:\u003c\/strong\u003e Water moderately through the first warm season and then reduce sharply, keeping the plant almost dry over winter.
