THE TROPICAL LOOK / THE EXOTIC GARDEN / HOT PLANTS FOR COOL CLIMATES:
THE TROPICAL LOOK / THE EXOTIC GARDEN / HOT PLANTS FOR COOL CLIMATES
OK, so you have nearly memorized Riffle's The Tropical Look and Iversen's The Exotic Garden; you are totally inspired by Schrader & Ross' Hot Plants for Cool Climates. This is the category close to what Dan Hinkley calls "Tropicalismo Gardening"! Now you want to flesh out your own version of shamelessly flashy tropicals & subtropicals currently in high fashion due not only to some excellent books, but in many plant magazine articles, excellent botanic & civic garden displays as well as smashingly flamboyant plantings at zoos & amusement parks--we suggest a beginning core group of plants from the following collections to get your tropics started. No roadside nursery's plugs & packs of cheap annuals will show up in either of these.
To see a full listing of such plants, click the following link.

***Beyond the boundaries of these collections are plants which, while perfect in such a display, would take too long to grow quickly enough to give an immediate impact in one season. We suggest that you separately order these in terms of growing them on for eventual inclusion in your extravagant displays: Palms, most Bamboo, Citrus, Excoecaria, Punica, Heliconia, Jatropha, Monstera, Phormium, Rohdea, Tree Ferns, Strelitzias, Agaves, Crinums, & Cycads.
***Also note the Banana collection offered earlier in this list.
***For those of you living nearby, remember that we always stock large Thai ceramic pots at the nursery.

NOTES ON THE ABOVE PLANT COLLECTIONS:
>All
plants will be labeled; no duplicates will be included
unless you so
request.
>If you already have several plants in a
category and
wish to order a collection of this group, simply include the
names of
what you already have so we do not send duplicates.
>If you
designate specific plants in a collection, we will entertain
your
suggestions but cannot guarantee or promise their inclusion.
If you
want a particular plant, order it from the main catalogue.
>A
number of plant society chapters, garden clubs, public
garden plant
sales houses, etc. regularly order these very economic
collections to
raise money for their groups or institutions; if your group
or sales
area would like quotes for larger numbers of plants, or
different
categories (such as plants for young children, Crassula
family
members, hanging basket or wreath making subjects, etc.)
please write
or call us for specific quotations.
>Because of the demands on our mailorder, collections cannot
be picked up on our open days. They are mailorder only. Our walkin area has a fine selection of plants at
all time available for your selection when you arrive.
The catalogue will periodically have other Collections
available.
We might possibly change the variety here also during the
year, as
stocks and crops change.
