Landscaping is an art in which individuals enhance the appearance of their lawn, often while infusing it with their own personalities. There is no denying that tropical plants offer a lot of aesthetic appeal to landscapes, which makes them hugely popular choices, especially in warmer parts of the country. If you are interested in providing a great selection of tropical landscape plants to your clients, here are a few species you should consider.
Alocasia wentii ‘Regal Shields’ Elephant’s Ear
This species of Elephant’s ear has dark, multicolored leaves and can grow up to six feet tall. It is a great choice for borders, accents, or for clustering. It is a low maintenance plant, but does require frequent watering. It is also resistant to deer and rabbits.
Calliandra haematocephala Powderpuff Tree
