[PODCAST] Plumeria

Plumerias! Maybe the most coveted of the tropical flowers grown and blooming now in Southern California! While more likely identified as Hawaiian being a favorite flower for leis, they are actually endemic to Mexico and Central America. 

But any tropical environment in the world is ideal for the growing of Plumerias (aka Frangipani). Even inland regions of Southern California are HOT spots for plumeria culture. This week on In the Garden with UC Master Gardeners, MG and host Bill Brooks talks with fellow Master Gardener Pennie Louwers and past President of the South Coast Plumeria Society Jaki Kamphuis about how to grow plumerias. Learn all you need to know about the needs of the plants (water, temperature, soil, feeding, and propagation) to get you off and growing.
