Dutchlady1 said:Ron - out in Texas where the Plumeria Society of America originated (and the winters are cold and wet) people dig their plumeria plants up every fall when they go dormant, store them barerooted, and plant them again in the spring. I can assure you they bloom there. But not everyone has the commitment to Plumeria that they do (few people have!) so you might be better off planting something else.
If you're done with it you can donate it to the Naples Botanical Garden which houses the National Plumeria Collection.



My parents do this in Ft. Worth every year. They got cuttings from their friend when he lived in Ft. Myers and took them back to Texas. Now I have cuttings from that 'cutting'...every year they dig it up and now it is getting too large they really need to trim it back.

Reading through this makes me miss Fl a lot. I lived on the east coast, 2 yrs Space coast and 6 yrs FLL/Miami until 2010.
