We might not live in the tropics, but that doesn’t have to stop us getting tropical during our gardening season!
Plants that would typically be grown as houseplants can be a dramatic addition to your spring planting plans – big leaves, bold colours and an attitude that says “I’m here and you’d better look at me!”
Five reasons for planting tropical ‘houseplants’ outside this spring:
- They are big, bold and unique; some have oversized leaves, while others sport the brightest colours or most interesting textures.
- They look exotic and exciting.
- They will contrast magnificently with your favourite annuals.
- Most tropical plants will flourish outside during the summer, although avoid full sun.
- You can bring your tropical plants inside during the winter.
