Has anyone successfully grown a Plumeria plant to flowering outside Hawaii or wherever they're native? I'm in Arizona & just bought a plant - a stock about 14 inches tall with a small, reddish new, tender growth coming out the very top. Just returned from 2 weeks on Maui & loved all the Plumeria tree blossoms. Really want to keep this one growing. Appreciate your experience with one.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.I would dearly love to grow pua melia in my yard in Oregon, but I'm pretty sure that's a dream that won't come true! It is one of my favorite flowers and fragrances, but Oregon is not tropical, no matter how hot it seems sometimes, lol!
- This was my Pua Melia - one of my girls - the closest to actually growing pua melia (plumeria) in Oregon!!

I've got one that I keep in a huge pot so I can bring indoors in the winter. Take it out every spring and put the whole pot in a hole in the ground, cover it with mulch and it grows and flowers every year. Mine is about 4 ft tall.

@Allamanda I'm in Southwest Texas I think I'm zone 7 or 8
[gardeningknowhow.com] This is what I found. I think your area is good - unless you are prone to cold spells?
Maybe someone who knows the area will be along.
