When I first started gardening, I lived in London. I was desperate to get a tropical look in my garden, even though (in those days) the temperature often fell to -5°C and it would have been easier to create a typical English garden.
So, to achieve the look, I had to use hardy exotics, as you can see in the pictures of this garden.
When I moved to Sydney, nearly all the gardens were tropical in style. So, in my perverse way, all I really wanted to create there, was a European or American-style perennial garden.
Now that I am back in the UK, I am hankering after the tropical again. So in this post, I’m bringing you some of the most gorgeous tropical plants you can find.
Beware, nearly all of these are fully tender, so they won’t survive cold or frost, which means I won’t be growing them in my Scottish garden. Nevertheless, they are beautiful to behold and, hopefully, an inspiration for those of you with the climate to match the plants.
So, below, I explore 15 of the most exotic-looking lush tropical garden plants that you can grow (If you are lucky), including care tips and ideas on how to display them effectively.
