About Your New Hymenosporum flavum - Native Frangipani

Hymenosporum flavum carries clusters of intensely fragrant flowers through spring and summer that open cream and age to deep gold, scenting an entire garden from a single tree. It is one of the most strongly perfumed Australian natives in cultivation.

The Native Frangipani grows to 8 to 15 metres tall and 4 to 6 metres wide at 0.6 to 1 metre per year, developing a slender upright habit when young that broadens into an open layered canopy with age. Glossy dark green foliage and a relatively narrow footprint make it well suited to street planting and courtyards.

This is an Australian native that grows in full sun across a wide range from tropical Queensland through coastal New South Wales, Melbourne and Adelaide. It prefers well-drained soil with consistent moisture through establishment and needs little maintenance once away.

Frequently Asked Questions

About Hymenosporum flavum

How tall does Hymenosporum flavum grow?

Hymenosporum flavum grows to 8 to 15 metres tall and 4 to 6 metres wide in cultivation. It is narrower and more upright when young, broadening into an open layered canopy as it matures.

How fast does Native Frangipani grow?

It is fast-growing, adding 0.6 to 1 metre per year once established, and will reach a useful size within four to five years in warm coastal conditions.

When does Native Frangipani flower and is it fragrant?

Flowering runs through spring and into summer. The flowers open cream and age to deep gold, and the perfume is strong enough to carry across a whole garden, particularly in the evening.

Is Hymenosporum flavum an Australian native?

Yes. It is native to the rainforest margins of eastern Australia and New Guinea, and is widely planted as a street and feature tree in Australian cities.

Is it suitable as a street tree?

Yes. Its upright habit, moderate canopy width and clean foliage make it a common council choice for streetscapes and nature strips where a fragrant flowering native is wanted.

How far apart should I plant Native Frangipani?

Plant 3 to 4 metres apart as feature trees to allow the canopy to develop, or 3 metres apart for a uniform avenue. For screening allow 1.5 metres.

Where does Hymenosporum flavum grow best in Australia?

It performs best in tropical and subtropical Queensland, Northern NSW, Sydney and the Central Coast, the South Coast, Melbourne and surrounds, Gippsland and Adelaide. Young trees need frost protection in cold inland districts.

Enriched Planting Mix (AO Certified)

$21.95

Enriched Planting Mix is a certified organic blend of Pure Magic Compost, composted animal manure, gypsum, composted coarse bark and a wetting agent, bagged in 30L. It is built to be dug through existing garden soil at planting time rather than used on its own, and the gypsum is what sets it apart from a plain compost.

Gypsum helps break up heavy clay so water and roots can move through it, while the compost and manure return organic matter and nutrient to tired ground. The coarse bark holds structure and keeps air around the root zone, and the wetting agent keeps moisture in the soil longer after rain or watering.

Use it when planting trees, shrubs, roses, fruit trees and exotic garden plants, particularly into clay. Dig a hole twice the width of the pot and 7 centimetres deeper, then mix roughly one third planting mix through the excavated soil. Spread 7 centimetres of that improved soil in the base before setting the plant in.

Frequently Asked Questions

About Enriched Planting Mix

What is Enriched Planting Mix made from?

It is a blend of Pure Magic Compost, composted animal manure, gypsum, composted coarse bark and a wetting agent. Each part has a job. The compost and manure supply organic matter and nutrient, the gypsum works on clay structure, the bark keeps air around the roots and the wetting agent holds moisture in the soil.

What plants is it suitable for?

It suits exotic garden plants, including roses, ornamental and deciduous trees, fruit trees, shrubs and perennials, and it earns its keep most on heavy clay sites. It is a planting mix rather than a potting mix, so its job is improving soil at planting time. Phosphorus sensitive natives are the one clear exception.

Is it safe for natives?

No, not for the phosphorus sensitive ones. The composted animal manure in this blend lifts phosphorus well above what Proteaceae such as Banksia, Grevillea, Hakea and Protea will tolerate, and the result can be leaf burn, dieback and plant death. Use the Native Potting Mix for those species, or plant them into unimproved local soil.

Is it certified organic?

Yes. It is a certified organic product with no chemical additives, which is why the manure and compost in it are fully composted rather than raw. That makes it sound around fruit trees and vegetable beds, and it means you are adding genuine organic matter to your soil rather than a synthetic conditioner.

How much do I need?

Work on roughly one third planting mix to two thirds of the soil you dug out of the hole. For a shrub out of a 200 millimetre pot that is only a few litres. An advanced tree going into a large hole will take considerably more. Judge the quantity by the volume of the hole rather than the size of the plant.

Can I use it in pots?

It is not a potting mix and should not be used on its own in a container. The blend is designed to be diluted through garden soil, and used straight in a pot it holds too much water and settles badly. For containers, reach for a premium potting mix, or the native mix if you are potting natives.

Does it need to be watered in?

Yes. Water the plant well several hours before you plant it, then water thoroughly again once the hole is backfilled and the soil firmed down. That first deep watering settles the improved soil around the root ball and drives out air pockets. Keep the water up over the first few months while the roots establish.
