No! Not like daylilies at all. Daylilies have single flowers at a time. Plumeria have clusters of blooms, so depending on weather, when one flower fades, the rest may all be just opening, and the bush/ tree will have many branches flowering at any time. I have eliminated all but one daylily because they require to much grooming and water. I will never give up my plumerias. (I have 4...2 in ground and 2 in pots) I feed them a couple of times a year(if I remember), and prune them when they encroach on walks or the neighbors porch, or get too tall to appreciate the blooms. In my zone, they thrive with no care, BUT people in all zones do grow them, though they do have to be protected in winter weather. Potted ones can over winter in a garage, or dug, bare root can be overwintered also. Do more research. Plumies are grown in all climates, one way or another.
