Hymenosporum flavum
Native Frangipani
The exceptional perfume that comes from the Native Frangipani’s striking yellow spring flowers is reason enough to plant this fast-growing rainforest tree.  The highly fragrant frangipani-like flowers in clusters, starting out cream and turning to yellow, are a magnet for birds and native bees.  Shiny dark-green pittosporum-like foliage allows light to pass through while bringing a tropical feel to the garden.  A regular prune will restrain its height and provide a more compact form.  Fast growth rate.
 
How to grow
 
Sow seeds 2mm into sandy soil mix at 25 degrees C in a greenhouse or a warm humid environment.  Keep moist.  Germination takes about 2 months.
 
Plant in full sun or part shade, prefers fertile soil, though tolerates a range of soil types.  A regular prune will provide a more compact form.  Drought tolerant once established.
