[header] How to care for frangipanis [title] Decide between planting in the ground and in a large container. [step] Frangipanis prefer to be in the ground but also do well in terra cotta containers. They go dormant in winter, but cannot withstand frost. 
If you live in a place with harsh winters (temperatures below freezing), a container is best so the plant can be moved inside or stored during winter. [substeps] Early spring is the best time to plant a frangipanis so it is established and blooming heavily by summer.
