Tropical Plant Pizzazz For Southern Landscapes

There are many tropical plants that thrive as annuals in the warm, sunny South. Here are five that would add color and dazzle to any yard with a minimum of fuss.

Bananas

Bananas deliver tropical beauty while remaining very easy to maintain. They look especially nice around pools and in other landscapes where you’d want an exotic touch. The red-leafed banana plants are even more exotic!

Hibiscus

The standard red hibiscus is well known to most gardeners and landscapers, but what few people know is that the plant is available in a dizzying array of attractive colors and huge bloom sizes (some varieties have flowers up to 12 inches across). Some even sport bicolor blooms.

Blue Daze

This lovely low-growing plant displays gray-green foliage and bright blue flowers that last all summer long. Its soft color blend goes beautifully in almost any landscape.

Mandevilla

This drop-dead gorgeous vine is a must-have, and is especially stunning when trained up a large trellis. The large, brilliant pink flowers stand out against the deep green of its foliage.

Lemon Lollipop

This shrub-type of tropical plant is highly unique and adds texture and interest to landscaping. The yellow flower spikes are a striking asset to flower beds.

If you’re looking for a little extra spark for your Southern yard this year, then be sure to take a serious look at these tropical treats.  All they need is plenty of sunshine and water throughout their long growing season, and they will amply reward your efforts with brilliant blooms.
