Collection: Plumeria Classes

We’ve been hearing a lot of the same questions lately—how to get a plumeria through winter in this South Louisiana humidity and wet weather, and what comes next once a tree is established. So we put together two short classes at the next Firefly Under the Moon.

They’ll be held Saturday, November 28 at Chatsworth Plantation (5755 Hwy 74, St. Gabriel, LA 70776).

Plumeria 101 starts at 4:30 PM. We’ll cover the practical basics that matter here: a little history, how these plants actually grow, what works for us in South Louisiana heat and rain, common pests and problems, and winter care so the trees make it to spring.

Plumeria 201 is at 6:00 PM for growers ready to go further. Topics include germinating seeds, registering a new cultivar with the PSA, proper callousing of cuttings, plunging plumeria, and growing in the ground.

Each class is $25 and limited to 15 people. We’ll leave time for questions at the end of each one. With your participation you’ll receive class handouts, a $25 gift certificate good for the 2027 season, and a packet of plumeria seeds.

We’ll be at Booth #52 that evening if you’d like to stop by before or after class.
