Tropical style evergreen plants for your garden - Cold hardy!

Tropical style evergreen plants help to give my own tropical garden year-round interest. In this video I share a list of the exotic & tropical style plants that I grow in my own garden. Each of the tropical style plants on the list is hardy to USDA gardening zone 9 and will remain evergreen throughout the year. Evergreen leaves in a tropical style garden are a great way to keep a lush tropical style in a temperate garden, even in a cold winter.

I’ve got Sonchus Fruitcosus growing in my lawn, in Texas bigger than that. They come up every year. You can come and take all you want.

[@MXGi]

Thanks for another great video.

[@GrowParadise]

Thanks for watching!

[@benediktk.8228]

Appreciate the fact you want to build an ecosystem, not simply something nice too look at for human eyes!

[@GrowParadise]

The way I want to garden has changed so much over the past few years 👍

[@benediktk.8228]

@@GrowParadise Once i've got my own garden i'd love to also incorporate some dead wood (in an aesthetic way). It's great in terms of promoting biodiversity but also creates this natural forest/jungle -look.

[@jademurray8235]

I really admire your approach to a natural eco system and not using slug pellets, i love that🌿💚🌿💚 The foliage on the plant from Madeira is divine😍

[@GrowParadise]

Thanks Jade 😁 I think we all have do to our bit if we can. A big part of it is plant choices too, I don't grow Hosta anymore 🌱🐌 I should have some of that Argyranthemum from Madeira for sale in spring 🤞😁

[@jademurray8235]

@@GrowParadise ohh lovely, will look out for your Argyranthemum in the spring! 🌿💚🌿 i agree with Hosta plants, i love them but they literally get eaten to shreds by slugs in my garden! Looking forward to your next upload as always🌿💚🌿

[@joezimmerman1089]

Great video, I also like Aucuba japonica as there is a cultivar that's similar to a cultivar of Croton

[@GrowParadise]

Thats a great suggestion, thanks for sharing 😁

[@TG-ts3xn]

Great work. Really want to get a schefflera in 2023…

[@GrowParadise]

Thanks! They are becoming more easily available now 👍

[@King_of_carrot_flowers]

My experience growing S. fruticosus in London was that it was root hardy, but the first hard frost always killed off overground growth, so it was herbaceous. I was growing it on a roof terrace though, where it might have been more exposed.

[@GrowParadise]

That is good to know, thanks 👍 Mine has taken temps down to 2°C so far but time will tell 😁

[@karlokovacic9988]

How hardy is fatsia green fingers?.

[@kenbartlam8220]

Nice video what is the name of the canapy tree you have thanks 😊

[@GrowParadise]

It is Rhus typhina 😁👍

[@TheBergmaster]

Is schefflera taiwaniana suitable for a large container?

[@GrowParadise]

Absolutely! The bigger the better 😁

[@pamelaapgar8184]

Awesome plants! I wish I had a yard, I live in apartment so it kinda sucks hah but all the plants I have are either house plants or plants that I have to bring inside. I need more hardy winter Tolerant plants 🖤🖤🌵🌿🎍🌾🪷🌻🌼🌸

[@GrowParadise]

I lived in an apartment for 4 years before I moved into this house, I actually started this channel from there. I grew on the window sills and in pots by the front door. Growers gonna grow! 😀
