May Newsletter

Plumeria flowers are often associated with Hawaii because of the traditional leis and beautiful flower decorations. The colors vary from white to yellow and pink (as shown above). They typically bloom in the summer months and make wonderful, fragrant leis for May Day celebrations around the state. Plumerias grow well in drier climates like the southshore and westside of Kauai.
