Frangipani is an iconic Queensland feature tree, loved for its sculptural branching, lush tropical flowers and intoxicating fragrance. In Brisbane and surrounds, it thrives as a low-maintenance statement tree, bringing instant holiday atmosphere and strong visual character to gardens.

During the warmer months, large waxy flowers in shades of white, cream, yellow and pink perfume the garden, while the bare, architectural branches in winter add sculptural interest even when not in leaf.

Why it’s a feature tree

  • Highly fragrant tropical flowers in summer

  • Sculptural branching creates year-round interest

  • Strong visual impact with minimal maintenance

  • Perfect as a standalone statement tree

Planting companions
Keep underplanting simple and sun-loving:

  • Dianella for a clean architectural base

  • Low ornamental grasses for softness and movement

Growing conditions & care

  • Best planted in full sun for strong flowering

  • Prefers well-drained soil; avoid heavy, waterlogged sites

  • Water regularly during establishment

  • Once established, it is very drought tolerant

  • Minimal pruning required; remove dead wood only

Mature height: approx. 3–6 metres

In Brisbane gardens, Frangipani is a reliable and expressive choice, offering scent, form and a distinctly subtropical feel with very little ongoing care.
