From The Humid Tropics

Tropical Hibiscus

Sale 30% off



Crotons
Big, colorful leaves that are never "between blooms". Outside they make great accents for mixed container plantings or on their own. They tolerate part to full sun, although you should ease them out from dappled sun into full sun over a period of time or they will burn.

Mandevilla Vine
Loaded with flowers in red, pink or white, the mandevilla vine is a summer show stopper climbing up arbors or trellises or over mailboxes. Give them plenty of sun, check them daily for water, and fertilize regularly.

Frolicking Ferns!
in our houseplant dept
Embelish your outdoor living areas with a few tropical ferns. Whether hanging up high or nestled in urns, ferns will add a cool, calm feeling as their long, fronds wave gently in the breezes. Easy to grow, they love our summer humidity and like a location with dappled or indirect sunlight. Check them daily for water. Not kidding daily.
