Espinada Plumeria
Plumeria rubra hybrid — Mild, sweet fragrance
Beginner-friendlyApril – October
Espinada earns its place on small patios: it branches low and compact, yet loads those short branches with pink, yellow-throated flowers from April into October, so even a plant in a 3-gallon pot can look covered in bloom. The fragrance is mild and sweet — a good pick if stronger varieties such as Singapore White read as too much up close. Espinada is among the easier rubra hybrids to start from a cutting, and its naturally tidy shape needs almost no pruning to stay presentable. For deck and balcony growers across Florida, Texas, and California, this is the low-maintenance choice we suggest most often.
