Hymenosporum flavum 'Lushious' pbr

Common Name:
Native Frangipani 'Lushious'

Description:
Hymenosporum flavum 'Lushious' PBR is a compact and highly ornamental selection of the much-loved Native Frangipani, valued for its lush evergreen foliage, dense growth habit, and beautifully fragrant flowers. In spring and early summer, it produces clusters of creamy white blooms that gradually age to soft yellow, creating a lovely two-toned effect on the plant. The sweetly scented flowers are especially appealing in the garden and attract pollinators, while the glossy green foliage provides year-round structure and screening potential. Well-suited to Melbourne’s climate in a warm, sheltered position, this refined cultivar thrives in full sun to part shade and prefers well-drained soil. It is an excellent choice for feature planting, hedging, screening, or growing in large pots where a more compact Native Frangipani is desired.
