Plumeria 'Black Red'
Black Red Frangipani
Plumeria are tropical natives, and the fragrant flowers are used to make a traditional Hawaiian lei. The plants have thick stems, and the leaves are leathery. The 5-petalled flowers come in an array of colours. In cooler climates, plumeria are grown in containers, as they will not tolerate cold. They require a minimum of 6 hours of full sunlight a day in order to reach its potential in growth and flower quality. Black Red Frangipani, is also known as also known as Blood Red, Tahitian Red, Suva Red, Irma Bryant. The flowers are very dark red, with a heady spicy fragrance. This variety is not a vigorous grower, even in its native habitat, and is not, therefore, recommended for cooler climes.There are now lighter red varieties being called blood red and the darkest reds are now being called black red to avoid confusion.

Propagation
From Early Spring TO Early Spring
Plumeria species may be propagated easily from cuttings of leafless stem tips in spring. Cuttings are allowed to dry at the base before planting in well-drained soil. Cuttings are particularly susceptible to rot in moist soil.
Planting
From Early Spring TO Early Spring
Plumeria are not tolerant of cold and must be protected. Therefore, they should be container grown in colder regions. In areas that may be warm most of the time but still fairly prone to cold winters, the plant can be dug up and overwintered indoors. Alternatively, you can sink container grown plumerias in the ground, bringing them indoors once the temperatures begin to drop in fall. Once warmer temps return in spring, you can return the plants back outdoors. When growing plumeria plants in pots, use a coarse, well-draining potting mix—cactus mix or perlite and sand should be fine.
