Tropicals

Our selection of tropicals include the following and more:

Mandevilla-  Mandivilla is a tender vine loved by gardeners in warmer climates.  It provides a bounty of huge pink trumpet shaped flowers shown off against its attractive green foliage.  It prefers full sun for best flowering.

Dipladenia-  A variation of the mandevilla, dipladenia is a little more restrained and delicate, but has almost the same virtues.  The leaves are smaller and smooth.  Diplodenia vines tend to be more compact (averaging 3-4 feet) but they will make use of small trellis.  Blooms red of pink and likes full sun.

Bougainvillea- Prized for neon flowers that resemble crepe paper and can last for months, bougainvillea is a bushy vine that rambles, but does not twine.  The woody older growth can develop wicked thorns, so watch out!  The beautiful blooms can be almost any color, most commonly fushia pink, red, yellow, or white.  Dont over water!

Confederate Jasmine-  This beautiful and energetic vine creates a special scene with its delicate white pinwheel flower and enchanting fragrance.  Prefers brights sun to part shade.

Hibiscus-  This tropical hibiscus usually has dark green leaves with either singles, or double blooms in colors of yellow, orange, pink, or red.  This hibiscus is a sun lover but will not tolerate drought.

Sago Palm-  This handsome plant has dark green fronds that fan out.  Sago Palm however, is a misnomer.  It is in fact a cyrad.  The sago is very adaptable and can be used in full sun to shade.

Foxtail Fern-  The foxtail fern is similar to the asparagus fern, only its growth habit is very dence and it produces tail-like fronds.  It prefers part sun.
