Frangipani ‘Pudica’, often known as Bridal Bouquet or Hammerhaed Frangipani, is a refined, evergreen frangipani perfectly suited to Brisbane and surrounds. Unlike traditional frangipanis, Pudica features distinctive spoon-shaped leaves, giving it a cleaner, more contemporary look.

Clusters of elegant white flowers with soft yellow centres appear through the warmer months, creating a light, graceful presence rather than a heavy tropical feel. Its upright form and restrained branching make it ideal for courtyards, poolside planting and modern gardens.
