Frangipanis dislike wet feet.
For best results:

- Improve clay soil with coarse sand and compost
- Raised beds work well
- Pots need excellent drainage
Watering
- Water regularly during summer growth
- Reduce watering heavily in winter dormancy
- Avoid overwatering, especially in cool weather, as roots may rot
Fertiliser
Use:
- High-phosphorus fertiliser during spring and summer for flowering
- Avoid excessive nitrogen, which causes more leaves and fewer flowers

- Late spring through summer into autumn in Perth
Mature size

Care tips for Perth

- Wear gloves when pruning because the sap can irritate skin
