When to Plant Frangipani Flower in Kansas

As you may have already guessed, you need to pay very close attention to your local weather in the spring. Specifically, you are going to need to watch when the last frost occurs.

In general, when there hasn’t been a frost for two weeks, you are SAFE to plant your frangipani flower outside in Kansas!

For your reference, I have created this table for average frost dates for most major cities in Kansas. If your city is not listed below you can find its Last & First Frost Dates HERE.

Kansas Frost Dates

Unfortunately, Mother Nature plays cruel tricks on us every year.

It should be noted that the above dates are just averages.

There are years when the last frost comes MUCH later. Sometimes, the last frost happens much earlier and you can get your frangipani flower planted outside in Kansas much quicker.

Like I said before, you need to be very diligent in checking your local weather.

So what happens if a frost comes AFTER you plant your frangipani flower?

When you know a frost is coming you need to take action.

  • If frangipani flower are in pots, bring them inside
  • If frangipani flower are in the ground, cover them in burlap and hope they survive

Also, make sure not to plant your frangipani flower in your garden too late.

  • Planting frangipani flower too late will cause small blooms or even worse, no blooms.


When Should You Start Your Frangipani Flower Seeds Indoors?

Depending on the type of frangipani flower, it takes roughly 7-14 days (1 to 2 weeks) to grow frangipani flower from seed indoors and then transplant them to your garden. And then another 2 years to bloom!

For a specific date that you should start frangipani flower seeds indoors you should:

  • Find the last average frost date HERE
  • And then subtract 7 days from it

Not only this, but I recommend again paying close attention to your local weather report.

It should also be noted that the best technique for bringing your frangipani flower plants outside is to introduce them (in their pots) outside for an hour. And then increase the amount of time they spend outside each day by an hour until they have been outside for 8 hours.

This will “harden” your frangipani flower plant, increasing its chances of fighting off diseases, insects, droughts, and wet conditions.
