About Us
Our Story
A large yellow pink flower with strong rose fragrance orginating in Hawaii, Love’s Tropicals has been a beacon of plumeria cultivation for over 30 years. Our fascination with these enchanting plants, known for their beauty and diverse fragrances, began during a family vacation to Hawaii in 1991. With over two hundred varieties meticulously grown and studied, we pride ourselves on promoting and sharing the botanical wonders of plumeria, or frangipani, with enthusiasts everywhere.
from Cutting to Plumeria Tree
At Love’s Tropicals, plumeria nursery stock begins its journey as a 12-18" cutting. Once rooted cutttings can grow an additional foot annually under our experienced care. Our process involves precise trimming and fertilizing to foster mature plants, which allows us to provide high-quality cuttings to our customers. Due to our understanding of plumeria biochemistry, we are adept at nurturing these plants even in the challenging winter climates of Northern California.
Our Unique Offerings
We take great joy in watching how seedlings evolve, often developing into entirely new flower types through selective cultivation. Fueled by this passion, we offer a variety of seedlings, seeds, and specially formulated fertilizers available locally and nationwide. Our nurseries are open for visits by appointment, providing a personal touch and a closer look at our growing operations.
Experience And Engagement
David Love, the founder, combined his background in dentistry and biochemistry with a lifelong passion for horticulture. His journey from a casual observer to a devoted grower led to what his daughter affectionally calls “Plumeria Madness.” Love’s Tropicals also operates an organic walnut ranch and produces fine wines, integrating agricultural expertise with botanical passion.
Community Involvement
Since 2011, we have participated actively in local farmers’ markets, introducing not only plumeria but also organic nuts and other produce. Our commitment extends beyond sales; we thrive on educating and interacting with the community at various local markets and aloha festivals. Through our stalls in places like Morgan Hill, Mountain View, and Napa, we’ve shared our botanical love and knowledge widely.
Cultivating New Varieties
Over the years, we’ve cultivated numerous new plumeria varieties, some of which are born from our unique breeding programs. A standout among these is “Love’s Passion,” a vibrant flower known for its dark pink, star-shaped blooms and intense coconut fragrance. This variety, among others, is being registered with the Plumeria Society of America and will soon be available to the public.
