A Plumeria you can train to climb? Fragrance on the fence - the climbing Frangipani

Chonemorpha fragrans - Frangipani vine

💮 A Plumeria you can train to climb? Fragrance on the fence - the climbing Frangipani...
  • 💮 Twelve-inch leaves and a perfume cloud? Yes, it's real. Chonemorpha fragrans, or Frangipani vine, is a large woody tropical liana with clusters of large, perfume-fragrant flowers and lush green foliage. It is close related to perfumed Plumeria - Frangipani.
  • 💮 Chonemorpha fragrans, the stunning Frangipani vine is a classic tropical woody climber, Plumeria's wilder cousin, bursting with huge, lush leaves (up to 12 inches long!) and clusters of intensely fragrant, creamy white flowers that smell just like your favorite Plumeria.
  • 💮 Unlike its tree-form relative, this beauty grows as a vine and needs a strong support to climb - think fence, trellis, or pergola.
  • 💮 Plant it in full sun for the best bloom show, though it's happy in partial shade too.
  • 💮 With the right care and some fertilizer, it will turn your garden into a fragrant paradise and stop guests in their tracks. Plant it by your sitting area, and enjoy nature's own perfume drifting in the breeze!
