The Frangipani Tree, also known as the Temple Tree, is a graceful, small to medium-sized ornamental tree native to Southeast Asia. Highly valued for its lush foliage and intensely fragrant flowers, this tropical beauty typically grows up to 2–2.5 m in height with a compact spread of around 1 m, making it ideal for gardens, patios, and large containers.

It features a thick, succulent trunk with smooth grey-brown bark and large, glossy, dark green leaves arranged in a spiral at the branch tips. The standout feature of Plumeria obtusa is its stunning, waxy flowers—usually white with yellow centers—formed in a classic five-petaled shape. These blooms appear during warm months and release a sweet, intoxicating fragrance, especially in the evening. The tree is hardy, adaptable, and easy to propagate from cuttings, making it a favorite in tropical and subtropical landscapes.
