The Frangipani Society of Australia is a non-profit organisation dedicated to promoting the development and improvement of Frangipani in Australia. We try to keep costs as low as possible for everyone, and though we were incorporated in 2001, the annual membership has not increased since our inception and is still only $25 per year. Some of our members are working towards the creation of entirely new varieties right now. Others are helping to establish the more rare Australian varieties across the country, through our network of enthusiastic growers, from coast to coast.
We produce an official publication four times a year, keeping members informed on all things ‘Frangipani’ – (also known as Plumeria after Charles Plumier the Franciscan monk who discovered the frangipani)– articles may include information on care, culture, exhibition, supplies or location of new varieties, grafting development, uses, and even the history of frangipani. This publication is called “Frangipani Facts” and each new edition is most eagerly-anticipated by members!
Below are links to selected articles from some recent issue's of Frangipani Facts. When you become a member of the Frangipani Society, you will have access to the full catalogue of previous Frangipani Facts, which is a treasure trove of information and pictures.
As a group, we are able to organise the purchase of cuttings and seeds from overseas, in bulk quantities, dealing with all quarantine protocols on your behalf. Seed orders from overseas may happen once or twice each year, and shipments of cuttings perhaps every second year, as this is quite a long and involved process.
Below are a few growing guides for Frangipanis:
