Hetty,

That Naples Superstar is a beauty! Thank Heavens you were able to get a start of it before it was gone.

I long for the smell of Plumeria! I don't have one and I live near the Oregon Coast in Zone 8a. Not exactly Plumeria Growing Paradise here. I think it could be done in a large pot though.

I do have some rolling platforms that I have my dwarf citrus on and they are rolled into my garage in the winter.

I was wondering if some of the plumeria varieties are more "dwarf" than others and would be good potted candidates?

Nurseries around here don't sell them, so I would need to obtain some cuttings. I just read all the coments in plantfiles about Plumeria growing. So interesting - One lady said she got her cuttings in the fall, wrapped them in newspaper, put them in a shoebox and forgot about them until spring. Then took them out, planted in damp sandy mix and they grew!


Any recommendations on varieties and suggestions on where to get a start?
