Champa (Plumeria)-10pcs

Description

Champa, scientifically known as Plumeria, is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Apocynaceae. These plants are native to tropical and subtropical regions of the Americas, with species found in the Caribbean, Mexico, and Central America. The most common variety is Plumeria rubra, which is widely known for its vibrant flowers, ranging in colors from white and yellow to shades of pink, red, and even purple.

The plant is highly valued for its fragrant blossoms, which have a sweet, strong scent, often used in perfumes and in Hawaiian leis. Champa plants have thick, leathery leaves and can grow as small trees or shrubs, reaching a height of up to 20 feet (6 meters). They require full sunlight and well-drained soil to thrive. While they are popular in tropical gardens for their beauty and fragrance, they are also symbolic in many cultures, especially in India and Southeast Asia, where they are associated with spiritual and religious significance.

Champa is not just admired for its flowers but also for its resilience to drought and heat. It is commonly seen in tropical landscapes, often alongside other ornamental plants. The plant is easy to grow, but care must be taken to protect it from frost as it is not cold-hardy.
