I am one of those people that loves night blooming jasmine. However I will not plant it when we move to Hawaii because it is known to be an invasive in Hawaii. It even spreads and survives the winters here in Baton Rouge, but is controllable.
Plumeria likes good drainage and definitely not wet feet. I have (had?) a couple on 29th in HPP, but they have never looked that great when I have been there - of course they essentially get no care. I think I would plant them in full sun on a 'turtleback' or ridge of cinder with an organic mulch. Since I have about a couple hundred +/- year-old seedlings here now, I am definitely going to try, especially when I do not have to worry about finding enough space to winter them.
