Alan glad to see you here caution to you my friend
i Live more like your climent but not as much rain i have the cold a few frosts every year and a few freezes every year but for the most part only about 2 weeks to cringe and move inside i don't have any big enough YET to go in to the ground as hetty said so i go in and out . I tell you Hetty is the guru of plumeria and will supply you with outstanding cuttings.
