Plumeria Snow Queen

Common Name: Snow Queen Frangipani

Description:
Snow Queen Frangipani (Plumeria rubra ‘Snow Queen’) is an elegant and fragrant tropical beauty prized for its clusters of pure white, waxy petals surrounding a soft yellow centre. Glossy, leathery dark-green foliage enhances its refined appearance, while the blooms exude a distinctive, sweet scent. This cultivar flowers prolifically during Melbourne’s warmer months—from late spring through autumn—and is ideally displayed as a feature in pots, patios, or sheltered garden spots. Although it thrives in warm, well-drained conditions and loves full sun, it must be protected from frost during winter dormancy. When sheltered properly, it returns each season, gracing the garden with its timeless charm.
