Hong Dang/Daeng

Means Red Swan in Thai, bright red. Hong Kong seedling of Singapore White but does not get black tip. Strong scent of Singapore and evergreen with the thick glossy dark green leaves but typically blooms 6 petals, sometimes 7 petals or more. 2”, really outstanding frangipani fragrance. Singapore genetics, unusual shiny leathery leaf shape and evergreen qualities. Tends to initiate many branches while flowering. Easiest to flower and grow. Shiny leathery leaves but not as coarse as Singapore. Fragrance similar to Singapore only a little bitterer. Super prolific bloomer, smells like Singapore white, compact grower and Singapore leaves, just narrower. First to send out inflos and the last one to flower. Outstanding sweet fragrance, shiny evergreen leaves, and a heavy brancher. Semi-evergreen, nice white flower and wider petals, yellow throat, light fragrance. More compact shape than the common white Singapore. Off-season tree so flowers bloom while the rest of your trees are going to sleep. Its evergreen foliage is a very dark lime green, glossy and low bearing with a dense growth habit. The branch diameter is small boned and slow to root. Heavy bloomer. Pure whites with just a hint of yellow. Hong Kong is not quite the evergreen that the Singapore is. HK will usually lose most if not all of its leaves in late winter. I absolutely love the scent. branches freely without having to bloom first, the leaves are more narrow and lighter green, branches are thinner, and the flower is a bit smaller than Singapore, but with a similar, strong, lovely, sweet fragrance. Leaves are shiny and not long. Often has 6 petals. Fast growing. Similar to Singapore species, leaves long and narrow. Rounded white flower with yellow center, flower 2.5 to 3 inches size, sweet fragrance. Tall, spindly, skinny, lanky grower. Sets tiny seeds, few are viable.
