Hymenosporum
flavum ~ Sweet Shade, Australian Frangipani, Queensland Frangipani |
Hymenosporum flavum is
a slender upright tree with very fragrant flowers. Sweet Shade has
also been called Queensland Frangipani and Australian Frangipani because
the fragrance resembles that of Plumeria. The flowers grow on the
tips of the branches and are produced Spring through Summer. The
flowers change from pale to dark yellow as they age. Hymenosporum
flavum grows 30-40 feet tall and about half that width. The Sweet
Shade can be grown in full sun to light shade. Hymenosporum flavum
is drought tolerant and maybe even drought insistent. The
Sweet Shade does not appreciate soggy conditions. Hymenosporum
flavum is hardy with overnight temperatures into the mid teens.
