Plumeria rubra 'Celadine' - Celadine Plumeria

Oh my................Look at the size of that one............gorgeous..........I bet the perfume is just heavenly........

Yes, it's a nice-shaped tree. All the Celadine plumeria trees are loaded with flowers, right now. :>)

My Celadine trees have no flowers :o(

This is gorgeous.

This looks amazing! Can these be grown in cooler climates outside or only in house/conservatories? I'm in the UK .

Pixielady:

Sorry, in the UK it's strictly a house or greenhouse plant/tree. It only grows well outside in the ground in tropical/subtropical climates.

Alexandramou:

I just noticed your comment, sorry!

Celadine is one of the easiest plumeria trees to grow. They should be blooming soon. :>)

;o)))

I think they will bloom next summer!!!

One important piece of information for next year's blooming season: fertilize heavily with high bloom this year. The latent buds are formed in the previous year's growth. This is why I try to fertilize heavily in Oct/Nov. The ones that haven't bloomed this year definitely didn't get a high bloom fertilizer last fall.

It's usually not critical to fertilize when a tree is growing in the ground. Like the one posted above.

Oh, thanks for the piece of info!

I think I will risk planting one in my garden next spring.

You're welcome! :>)

Yes, go for it! If you plant it in a dry and protected spot it should do well! You can always cover it if you expect frost or a freeze. Remember though, cold wet soil is worse than frost or a freeze...Plumeria trees need to be kept completely dry in winter (or it'll rot!).

What a beauty

Thanks! :>))

I love the shape of this tree! It was loaded with flowers.

Yes so do I yes I can see its loaded with flowers.

Those flowers are perfect for making Hawaiian leis. ?

Thats wonderful would love to try and make one them they are so pretty shame other countries dont make them my aunty and cousins are chinese but never seen them make those kind of things only knotted hand bags .

I'm from Hawaii originally. I used to make leis from the plumeria flowers there. I've made leis from my plumerias, also.

I gathered that long ago Andy ? but did nt like to ask brilliant you making leis from your Plumeries I bet they are stunning . I shall have to see if you tube shows how to make them and have a go my self.

I haven't made a lei in a long time, though. ?

lol don't worry I am not asking to make one , its like riding a bike once you learn you never forget.:o))

Yes, it's very easy to make a common plumeria lei. The plumeria lei with just flower pedals is much more involved.
