PETITTI | Building an Easy Tropical Container Garden

Palms, tropical foliage, and flowering plants combine wonderfully in container gardens to provide an enticing and exotic look for porches, patios, and poolside. Noelle shares an easy, heat-loving, tropical container idea, perfect for summer! The upright, vase-shaped habit of palms casts some dappled shade on the plants below, especially varieties growing closer to its trunk, so remember to place varieties that can tolerate a little less sun closer to the center of combo planters. Some of our favorite tropical, sun-loving plants to add to combo planters include Croton, Coleus, Dipladenia, and Lantana.
