I am a unique dwarf form of Hymenosporum flavum, the native frangipani, with spreading compact deep green luscious foliage. I am a good choice for dry shady areas where other plants often fail. I produce cream to pale lemon highly fragrant flowers from late spring to early summer, more prolifically in full sun.
I naturally develop a round mound form unpruned but can be pruned to shape as desired.
I am unrelated to true frangipanis and am an Australian native in the Pittosporum family.
Adaptable I am equally happy growing in pots and other containers or planted out in the landscape.
