What are the best low maintenance outdoor tropical plants?
Popular tropical plants for outdoor gardens include hibiscus, with its large, colorful blooms; bird of paradise (strelitzia), known for its striking flower shape; canna lily, offering vibrant leaves and flowers; bougainvillea, celebrated for its dazzling cascades of color; banana plant (musa), adding dramatic height . Bromeliads (bromeliaceae) are probably the easiest tropical plants to grow. These tropical epiphytes (air plants) easily adapt to growing in pots and are much more tolerant than many of their lush-leaved colleagues.
