Chamaerops humilis Vulcano Size: Sold in a 10 litre pot (40cm tall), £65

A variation on the Dwarf Fan Palm. Chamaerops 'Vulcano' spouts lava from its... no not really the 'Vulcano' part refers to the island in Sicily where they were first cultivated.

The Chamaerops Vulcano is similar in many ways to its close relative, its hardy, very good in the wind, clump forming and slow growing. The main difference is the compact form and stiffness of the fronds which gives Chamaerops 'Vulcano' very interesting and artful form.

Its slow growth rate, and it's compact growth habit, means Chamaerops Vulcano, like Chamaerops humilis is just about the only hardy palm tree, that keeps so compact. For this reason it makes an excellent specimen in a container, or for usage in confined spaces.

Chamaerops Vulcano requires little upkeep, other than a monthly application of foliar feed from mid-April to September and a little pruning back of old fronds in Spring and Autumn.

Try mixing up Chamaerops Vulcano in an exotic border with the Canary Island date palm (Phoenix canariensis) and Chusan palm (Trachycarpus fortunei) for a truly spectacular display.

Chamaerops Vulcano is a real collectors item, not so much for it's rarity but simply becauseit's special.

Known as Chamaerops humilis Vulcano or Chamaerops Vulcano or Vulcano fan palm

Helichrysum italicum , £7

The curry plant, fewer names can be more accurate yet misleading. The aroma given off by the curry plant, would be that of the best curry you have ever eaten, it's a fantastic instantly recognisable aroma.

The problem with the name is that the plant just isn't used in curries, it does smell like curry but alas it doesn't taste like curry, more often used for seasoning meats and the like.

Back to the botanical - Helichrysum italicum is a silver-grey evergreen shrub that produces an abundance of bright yellow flowers in mid-summer.

Give Helichrysum italicum a bright sunny spot out of strong winds and you will be well rewarded. A good tidying prune after flowering helps to retain a compact bushy shape.

The curry plant works well with Lavender and fits in withMediterranean planting schemes and dry gardens.

From wasps, earwigs, flies, and even slugs, our new Carnivorous plants will prove to be an effective and environmentally friendly form of pest control. But more than that, they offer real architectural value with their tall cylindrical pitchers in colours varying from red to purple to cream white. These plants are very hardy, and require very little care, but they must be kept moist throughout the year. Ideally water the plant with rainwater. Close your eyes if you are squeemish this is how it works - Water collects at the base of the vertical pitcher, attracting insects. Once on the rim of the pitcher the poor unsuspecting insect loses its footing on the slippery surface and falls into the water. The insect cannot escape by climbing the inner walls due to fine down-pointing hairs on the inner walls. The poor insect now dies, decomposes and is absorbed to finish of a truly miserable day.

Agave americana , £36

The spectacular grey-green Agave americana (Century Plant) is an evergreen perennial native to central american deserts. Agave americana and is ideally suited to hotsunbaked planting areas in dry gardens, rock gardens or as a potted specimen. It's spiky no-nonsense demeaner gives it great architecural value, and it's surprisinglyfast growth rate will leave you with a real oversized statement plant.

The key with growing Agave americana is to find a planting environment that is very well drained, and in full-sun. So when planting out Agave americana add additionalgrit or gravel to the planting hole to maximise drainage. To prevent the base of the Agave americana sitting wet in winter, when planting try to raise it slightly above the surrounding area, so water runs from it rather than to it.

In the colder parts of the UK and in colder than usual winters try to keep the Agave americana as dry as possible and free from a build-up of snow.

We do recommend growing Agave americana in pots allowing the plant to be shifted it to hot spots for the summer months and then moved to a sheltered spot in winter.

This approach also takes advantage of a pots free draining nature.

When potted give the Agave americana an occasional water through summer and feed 2-3 times. In winter keep the plant as dry as possible, while it is dormant.

Agave americana is also known as the Century Plant, you may have other names for it once it's stabbed you a few times!

Phoenix canariensis - Canary Island date palm , £20

This big bold Mediterranean date palm offers the best value of any Palm tree in the UK due to it's impressive stature.

The Canary Island date palm is generally best suited to mild regions, but those in the colder parts of the country can keep the Date palm potted and move it to a sheltered site for winter. Tying up the fronds is also a quick and simple approach to offering protection from the winter cold. The date palm is also one of the most effective palms in coastal or exposed areas.

The Date palm works fantastically as a standalone palm tree in a pot or in the ground. And can be used amongst other palm trees such as as dwarf fan palmdwarf fan palm (Chamaerops humilis), Chilean wine palm (Jubaea chilensis) or jelly palm (Butia capitata) to create a great mix of palm trees.

The Canary Island date palm needs to be kept moist throughout the growing season and will benefit from a monthly application of foliar feed from mid-April to September, especially so if potted. A quick tidy up of fronds is also a good idea during the spring and autumn.

For a little of the Mediterranean at home try the Canary Island Date Palm.

Phoenix canariensis is also known as the Canary Island Date Palm or just Date Palm.

Although its leaves may be palm-like in appearance - thus its name - the sago palm is actually a cycad. A 'living fossil'the ancient sago palm was once the staple diet of dinosaurs. Also known as the cyca revoluta, this impact plant is known for its iconic prehistoric appearance, it's architecural shape and a stunning set of near perfect fronds.During the growing season, the sago palm can be placed outside, although it is best to keep it in its pot to ensure it can be moved back indoors easily before the end of Autumn. Look for a situation that is light but not in full sun from noon to 3pm when the sunlight is at it's harshest, this will cause the fronds to bleach. The sago palm does very well as an interior plant and again benefits from a light open situation but away from the harsh midday sun.Cyca revoluta should be kept no more than moist throughout the growing season and watered only occasionally through winter. In terms of feeding, look to apply a balanced liquid feed monthly from mid-April to September, this helps to keep the fronds strong and healthy
The fronds on the Cyca revoluta will give you some indication as to it's well-being:

The old fronds may turn yellow from over watering or too much fertilizer.
New fronds may turn yellow from excess fertilizer or poor soil conditions.

Once the fronds lose condition remove them.
Give the Sago palm and tidy-up once a year removing old fronds that have lost condition, this should help to stimulate new fronds from the centre.
Those wanting to create a comprehensive exotic display should consider teaming it up with some indoor palms to add variation and structure.Pygmy date palms (Phoenix roebelenii) is a palm that works well alongside the Sago Palm

Cordyline australis 'Red Star' Size: 3 litre pot Size: 3 litre pot.
Common Name: Cabbage Palm, Torbay Palm.
Situation: Full sun/Part sun, Well-drained soil .
Eventual Height and Spread: 7m x 1.5m .
Hardiness: Half-Hardy, proves hardy in milder areas of the UK.
Known as the Cabbage Palm or Torbay Palm, and looking very much like a palm, and always referred to as a Palm, you will not be surprised to find out that the Cordyline australis 'Red Star' is...... not a palm. The Cordyline australis 'Red Star' is a tree native to New Zealand and Australia that is very fast growing which grows very very tall.
Cordyline australis 'Red Star' is less hardy than the non variegated green Cordyline australis has proven hardy in UK gardens for many years but has proven susceptible in the coldest winters, such as experienced in 2009/2010, but in the milder parts of the UK, cordylines once established have proved hardy. This is borne out just by the sheer numbers of these large trees you can see in gardens, on seafronts, and other amenity areas. To best keep the striking red foliage colour from fading we recommend planting Cordyline australis 'Red Star' in a sheltered spot. For more exposed areas look to use the green Cordyline australis.
The Cordyline australis 'Red Star' be warned grows fast and grows tall, so make sure this is allowed for when siting the tree. Cordyline australis 'Red Star' can be used as a standalone specimen either planted or potted, or at the back of beds to offer height and structure and contrast.
The Cordyline requires very little care once established, watering is generally unnecessary and feeding is rarely necessary, unless planted in a container. If containerised water regularly throughout dry spells and feed the Cordyline monthly from late May to early September.
A great point of conjecture with the Cordyline australis 'Red Star' is what to do with the old leaves. Some will leave the old leaves hanging down to form a 'skirt' as is done in its natural environment, or our preference is to cut back the old leaves keeping a nice, tidy and clean trunk.
Cordyline australis 'Red Star' is also known as the Red Cabbage Palm, Cabbage tree, or Torbay Palm.

Another interesting feature of this plant is it's eye catching purple flowers which are profuse in late Spring. Its unsual rounded leaf shape and it's tidy rounded growth habitmeans the Prostanthera remains an attactive plant throughout the year.
Prostanthera will work well in traditional beds as well as Mediterranean schemes as well of course as Australiasian planting schemes amongst other Australian plants such as the Bottlebrush, Grevillea, Leptospurmum and Melaleuca.
Prostanthera is a very unfussy plant, give as much sun as possible and give it a prune back in spring after flowering. Prostanthera is a plant that copes very well in fairly exposed sites.

Searching for an exotic complement to your palm trees and bamboo plants?Look no further than the Japanese aralia, also known as the Fatsia japonica or castor oil plant, a striking, larger than life specimen that is perfect for adding tropical foliage to a like-minded planting scheme.
What makes the Fatsia japonica stand out as such an effective shrub is its versatility. Fatsia is very happy in just about any location indoors or out. Indors it is frequently used because it does so well in poorly lit spaces, whereas most indoor plants require better light levels. Outdoors the Fatsia again proves its versatility residing happily in dark shady corners or in exposed, sunny and even windy situations.
Fatsia japonica is really one of the few evergreen shrubs that can offer a year round tropical presence with its big glossy-leaved tropical foliage. The fact that the Fatsia can tolerate shadysituations and is evergreen really does make this plant invaluable, as so few evergreen shrubs can thrive in this role.Throughout the growing season give Fatsia japonica plenty of water and fertilizer to really encourage it's growth rate and vigour. Fatsia japonica is hardy but can pick up foliage damage in winter in the colder parts of the UK. The damaged foliage can be removed in spring, allowing for vigorous regrowth.
Due to it's tropical appearance we like to work Fatsia japonica into tropical themes with palms such as the Chusan palm (Trachycarpus fortuneii) or any bamboo variety. Working inshady situations plant Fatsia japonica amongst other shade lovers such as tree ferns (Dicksonia antactica) and Giant Rhubarb (Gunnera manicata).

Colocasia antiquorum 'Illustris' is also known by the common names; taro and elephant ear.
Elephant ear plants have been used in cultivation for many thousands of years are likely to be native to South-East Asia. They are widely used in tropical plantings due to their stunning big bold leaves that are iconically jungle in effect. Colocasia esculenta are herbaceous perennials that grow at a tremendous rate through the growing season, constantly sending out new foliage creating an impressive tropical display.
The most important thing to know when growing Colocasia antiquorum 'Illustris'is that they love to be spoilt with water and nutrients, keep the colocasia well-watered and feed plenty. In simple terms the more water and food - the bigger the Colocasia. Colocasias grow very well as a marginal plant around ponds and water features, and are perfectly happy grown in shallow water. The elephant ear will be happy in full sun but will tolerate fairly shady situations too.
The Colocasia antiquorum 'Illustris' with it's dark foliage creates a fantastic contrast amongst other jungle plants such as the Hardy Banana (Musa basjoo) or a Ginger Lilly (Hedychium coronarium). For a foliage plant in tropical planting areas or for a touch of tropical around ponds and water features few are more effective than the colocasia esculenta.
Colocasia antiquorum 'Illustris' will die back around the time of the first frosts. At this time the plant can be cut back and the bulbs lifted and stored dry for winter. Or if the soil is well-drained the colocasia can be cut down and mulched over, which should adequately protect the bulb for winter. Alternatively pot them up prior to the weather turning cold and over-winter them indoors as an indoor plant.
Fertilizer is essential for Colocasia antiquorum 'Illustris' to get the very best from the plant, as is the case with most jungle plants. Click on Foliar Feed for our own formulated fertilizer, perfect for encouraging healthy strong foliage.

Situation: Full/Part sun, well-drained/moist soil .
Eventual Height and Spread: 3m x 1.5m .
Hardiness: Hardy .
Musa basjoo (Japanese hardy banana) has stunning tropical foliage - large bright green leaves arching up from a main stem. An excellent foliage plant to bring a tropical atmosphere to any garden. On mature plants, inedible (believe me I've tried) bananas form. The Musa basjoo is known as the 'hardy banana' but this only applies to the bulb of the plant. The main stem and leaves will usually die back in winter if left unprotected and re-shoot in the following spring. Alternatively pot up Musa basjoo prior to the first frosts and over-winter them indoors as an indoor plant.
As with most herbaceous tropical plants the Musa basjoo loves to be spoilt with water and nutrients, keep these tropical plants well-watered and feed plenty. In simple terms the more water and food - the bigger Musa basjoo will get.
Look to use Musa basjoo in fairly sheltered spots, planted amongst other tropical foliage plants such as the Colocasia esculenta, Alocasia, and Hedychium coronarium. Amongst these to keep all year round interest, use some evergreen tropical-effect plants such as the Windmill Palm (Trachycarpus fortuneii) and Fatsia japonica.
Musa basjoo is also known asJapanese Hardy Banana.

Be aware that Nerium oleander is a toxic plant, this plant is not recommended if planting around young children or pets.
Nerium oleander usually just called Oleander is instantly recognised as an iconicMediterraneanplant. Oleander is an evergreen semi-hardy shrubthat puts on a tremendous show of large brightly coloured flowers through mid-summer.
In the milder parts of the UK and in coastal areas theOleander proves fairly hardy and will probably be content in a bright sunny spot throughout the year. In the colder parts look to either protectthe Oleander or keep the Oleander potted where it can be left in full sun through the warmer months and then moved in to a sheltered spot,greenhouse or conservatory for winter.
Oleander is an essential selection for aMediterraneanplanting area alongside Dwarf Fan Palms, Fig Trees, Olive Trees and Bay trees.
To maintain a good dense shape and to promote flowering prune back Oleander after the last frosts in winter and prune again after flowering.
Oleander only requires moderate watering through the growing season, and will benefit from a monthly application of liquid feed to keep thefoliage healthy and to promote further flowering.
Oleander is a toxic plant and if ingested in sufficient quantities it can be deadly. We do not recommend planting Oleander around dogs or youngchildren.

Dicksonia antartica , £20

Dicksonia antartica Size: Small trunk with Fronds Size: Small trunk with Fronds.
Common name: Tree Fern, Hardy Tree Fern, Soft Tree Fern.
Situation: Part sun to Shade, Ideally filtered sunlight, moist rich soils.
Hardiness: Hardy.
Eventual Height and Spread: 6m x 3m.
Sizes quoted are trunk only, does not include fronds unless stated.
Larger sizes available.
The Dicksonia antarctica also known by other names such as the Tasmanian Tree Fern, Soft Tree Fern or just Tree Fern is by far the hardiest tree fern, making it ideal for growing outdoors in the UK.
These hardy tree ferns are best placed in a sheltered spot, sheltered from strong winds and importantly sheltered from harsh sunlight. An ideal spot for a tree fern is somewhere that offers dappled light, so in and amongst other taller trees.
The tree fern is a very very slow growing plant, but correct watering and feeding will go along way to encourage the growth rate, and produce a handsome set of fronds.
The key to feeding and watering a tree fern is that the vast percentage of the nutrient and moisture uptake for the fern is through its crown. Throughout the growing season (April - September) water on a regular basis through the crown and importantly apply a liquid feed via the crown every 2-3 weeks. Feeding tree ferns is really important not only will this feed encourage healthy strong fronds for the current seaons, but it will also nourish next seasons fronds too.For protection in winter, tree ferns are generally hardy up to around -8oc, up to the this temperature really no protection will be necessary, in most cases the fronds will lose condition and die, but they will happily regrow the following spring. For colder temperatures place a bundle of horticultural fleece in the crown of the tree fern, this will offer insulation from frosts and snow throughout winter. Some will go to far more involved processes of protection including chicken wire framework and straw, but only in the very coldest areas will this be necessary.
In most cases due to the brittle nature of the Dicksonia antarctica fronds, the fronds will be removed prior to dispatch on larger sizes.

Common Name: Cabbage Palm or Torbay Palm.
Situation: Full sun/Part sun, Well-drained soil.
Eventual Height and Spread: 8m x 2m.
Hardiness: Hardy.
Excellent in windy locations.
Larger sizes available.
Known as the Cabbage Palm or Torbay Palm, and looking very much like a palm, and always referred to as a Palm, you will not be surprised to find out that the Cordyline australis is...... not a palm. The Cordyline australis is a tree native to New Zealand and Australia that is very fast growing which grows very very tall.
Cordyline australis has proven hardy in UK gardens for many years but has proven susceptible in the coldest winters, such as experienced in 2009/2010, but in the milder parts of the UK, cordylines once established have proved wonderfully hardy. This is borne out just by the sheer numbers of these large trees you can see in gardens, on seafronts, and other amenity areas.
The Cordyline australis be warned grows fast and grows tall, so make sure this is allowed for when siting the tree. Cordyline australis can be used as a standalone specimen either planted or potted, or at the back of beds to offer height and structure. It is one of the best choices for very windy/exposed/coastal areas.
The Cordyline requires very little care once established, watering is generally unnecessary and feeding is rarely necessary, unless planted in a container. If containerised water regularly throughout dry spells and feed the Cordyline monthly from late May to early September.
A great point of conjecture with the Cordyline australis is what to do with the old leaves. Some will leave the old leaves hanging down to form a 'skirt' as is done in its natural environment, or our preference is to cut back the old leaves keeping a nice, tidy and clean trunk.
Cordyline australis comes in many different colours, but this green variety does keep better condition and colour than other varieties.
Cordyline australis is also known as the Cabbage Palm, Cabbage tree, or Torbay Palm. Find out more in our Cordyline Blog pages.

Anyone who owns a fig tree will attest that there are few things more satisfying than growing your own.Also known as Ficus carica, this deciduous spreading shrub or small tree is simple to grow and produces a tasty crop of fruit every year.A Fig Treerequires well-drained soil and idealy full sun to ensure it flourishes and produces a goodquality crop. The Fig tree does benefit from a sheltered spot but it is surprisingly tough and can tolerate some pretty exposed conditions.
Caring for a Fig tree is comes down to watering, feeding and pruning. Look to water theFigTree regularly through dry hot spells, especially if potted,but do not leave waterlogged.
An application of liquid feed every two to four weeks through the growing seasonis alsoadvised to help encourage a good crop and keep healthy foliage.
Pruning is important for a Fig tree to retain a good open shelf to ensure healthy fruits. Cut back a third of the main branches in winter when dormant and trim back any secondary branches that are running along the same lines as the main branches. Without getting too complicated look to create a rounded yet open crown for your Fig tree. Also in most cases don't let the fig tree get more than a couple of metres tall as this will make it difficult to harvest the figs.
Following these simple steps should ensure that an abundant crop of figs can be picked from around August to September.A fig tree is doubly useful - giving a garden an exotic feel and helping green-fingered enthusiasts to cook up a storm in the kitchen.
Ficus carica is also known as a Fig Tree.

Also known as the cyca revoluta, this impact plant is known for its iconic prehistoric appearance, it's architecural shape and a stunning set of near perfect fronds.During the growing season, the sago palm can be placed outside, although it is best to keep it in its pot to ensure it can be moved back indoors easily before the end of Autumn. Look for a situation that is light but not in full sun from noon to 3pm when the sunlight is at it's harshest, this will cause the fronds to bleach. The sago palm does very well as an interior plant and again benefits from a light open situation but away from the harsh midday sun.Cyca revoluta should be kept no more than moist throughout the growing season and watered only occasionally through winter. In terms of feeding, look to apply a balanced liquid feed monthly from mid-April to September, this helps to keep the fronds strong and healthy
The fronds on the Cyca revoluta will give you some indication as to it's well-being:

The old fronds may turn yellow from over watering or too much fertilizer.
New fronds may turn yellow from excess fertilizer or poor soil conditions.

Once the fronds lose condition remove them.
Give the Sago palm and tidy-up once a year removing old fronds that have lost condition, this should help to stimulate new fronds from the centre.
Those wanting to create a comprehensive exotic display should consider teaming it up with some indoor palms to add variation and structure.Pygmy date palms (Phoenix roebelenii) is a palm that works well alongside the Sago Palm

To prevent the base of the Agave americana marginata sitting wet in winter, when planting try to raise it slightly above the surrounding area, so water runs from it rather than to it.
In the colder parts of the UK and in colder than usual winters try to keep the Agave americana as dry as possible and free from a build-up of snow.
We do recommend growing Agave americana in pots allowing the plant to be shifted into hot spots for the summer months and then moved to a sheltered spot undercover in winter.
When potted give the Agave americana marginata an occasional water through summer and feed 2-3 times. In winter keep the plant as dry as possible, while it is dormant.

Where to grow Grapefruit treesGrapefruit trees love to bask in bright hot sunny spots throughout the growing season, and then moved indoors in a light bright space for the colder months. Grapefruit trees should be moved outside after the last frosts have passed in Spring and then returned inside comfortably before the first frosts begin in Autumn.Overwintering Grapefruit treesThe change from indoors to outdoors can create a significant change in temperature which can upset Grapefruit trees. Ideally grapefruit like to be over-wintered in cool indoor environments, in and around 5oc to 10oc. A heated greenhouse, sun room or conservatory will usually be best.Caring for a Grapefruit treeThe key for Grapefruit tree care is making sure the growing medium is very well drained, this cannot be emphasised enough, Grapefruit trees hate sitting in water-logged soils. A good compost mixed with one third grit will do the job nicely.Water Grapefruit trees through the growing season when the tree is outdoors only once a week, and when over-wintering just once a month, but on each occasion really soak the tree.Feeding Grapefruit trees is usually achieved by applying a high nitrogen and iron feed through the growing season. and a balanced nitrogen and iron feed when over-wintering.Grapefruit trees really respond well to good hard prune just as the tree is moved outside in Spring. This will stimulate vigorous regrowth, and retain good shape.Too much fruit left on the tree will result in a poor crop, thin out at least half the young crop to allow the focus of nutrients on a fewer number. Also remove ripe fruit from the tree, yes it does look nice on there, but leaving the fruit on the tree delays the onset of flowering and the next crop.

Ideal for a cool sunny window sill or conservatory.
Where to grow Orange TreesOrange trees love to bask in bright hot sunny spots throughout the growing season, and then moved indoors in a light bright space for the colder months. Orange trees should be moved outside after the last frosts have passed in Spring and then returned inside comfortably before the first frosts begin in Autumn.Overwintering Orange TreesThe change from indoors to outdoors can create a significant change in temperature which can upset Orange trees. Ideally Orange like to be over-wintered in cool indoor environments, in and around 5oc to 10oc. A heated greenhouse, sun room or conservatory will usually be best.Caring for an Orange TreeThe key for Orange tree care is making sure the growing medium is very well drained, this cannot be emphasised enough, Orange trees hate sitting in water-logged soils. A good compost mixed with one third grit will do the job nicely.Water Orange trees through the growing season when the tree is outdoors only once a week, and when over-wintering just once a month, but on each occasion really soak the tree.Feeding Orange trees is usually achieved by applying a high nitrogen and iron feed through the growing season. and a balanced nitrogen and iron feed when over-wintering.Orange trees really respond well to good hard prune just as the tree is moved outside in Spring. This will stimulate vigorous regrowth, and retain good shape.Too much fruit left on the tree will result in a poor crop, thin out at least half the young crop to allow the focus of nutrients on a fewer number. Also remove ripe fruit from the tree, yes it does look nice on there, but leaving the fruit on the tree delays the onset of flowering and the next crop.

Trachycarpus wagnerianus, £144

Trachycarpus wagnerianus Size: 1.4m Tall with 0.6m Trunk Size: 1.4m Tall with 0.6m Trunk. Not sure which Palm? - View our Palm Tree Overview to give you a quick comparision.

Common Name: Minature Chusan Palm.
Situation: Full sun, well-drained/light soil .
Eventual Height and Spread: 6m x 3m .
Hardiness: Hardy.
Do not be fooled by its name - the miniature chusan palm is by no means a diminutive plant.
The miniature portion of its moniker refers to the size of its leaves, which are slightly smaller than the average Trachycarpus palm tree fronds. Also known as the Trachycarpus wagnerianus, the miniature chusan palm shares many features with the Chusan palm (Trachycarpus fortunei), including a hairy trunk and tall stature.
It is one of the best options for coastal and exposed situations and is equally at home in a pot as a specimen plant or as a compact conservatory plant. In a tropical-themed planting area this palm tree works well amongst other hardy palms like the Jelly Palm (Butia capitata) and the Dwarf fan Palm (Chamaerops humilis), each adding architectural interest through their contrasting fronds.
Trachycarpus wagnerianus does best in well-drained or light soil and full sun. The miniature chusan palm will respond well to a monthly feed from mid-April to September, which helps to promote healthy, strong foliage. Very little pruning is needed for this palm tree, just a spring and autumn tidy-up of old tatty fronds.
Although its leaves may be smaller than the chusan palm, the miniature chusan palm will still have a similar effect on visitors to your garden - it will look truly striking and give even the most drab corner of a garden a truly exotic feel.

Canna indica 'Purpurea' , £8

Canna indica 'Purpurea' Size: 5 litre pot Size: 5 litre pot.
Common Name: Indian Shot.
Situation: Full/Part sun, well-drained/moist soil.
Eventual Height and Spread: 1.5m x 0.5m.
Hardiness: Read below for care notes.
Canna indica 'Purpurea' is a highly ornamental exotic plant which, with both its striking purple foliage and brilliant orange flowers blooms gives any planting area a tropical feel.
Also known as the Indian Shot, Canna indica works very well amongst fellow tropical plants such as the Hardy Banana, and Red Banana, Bamboo, Gunnera and evergreens such as the big-leaved Fatsia.
For best results feed and water profusely throughout late spring and summer.
Over winter, if the soil is heavy look to lift the canna in late autumn and overwinter in a frost-proof place. The rhizomes can then be started off in pots indoors in spring, ready for planting out in early summer. In good soils the canna can be cut down in late Autumn mulched and the rhizomes left dormant in the ground.
Canna indica 'Purpurea' is also known as the Indian Shot.

Situation: Full sun/Partial shade,moist soil.
Hardiness:Hardy.
Eventual Height and Spread: 4m x 2m.
The ever-dramatic hardy evergreen Black Bamboo (Phyllostachys nigra) has a huge range of applications from tropical planting areas, to Japanese gardens. Black Bamboo is widely used as a screening plant, and is also wonderfully effective around water features or even as a standalone specimen in a container.
Due to the black bamboo striking canes fantastic contrast is achieved amongst other bamboo and tropical plants. Look to plant black bamboo amongst palms like the chusan palm (Trachycarpus fortuneii), evergreen shrubs like Fatsia japonica or herbaceous perennials like the Elephant Ear (Colocasia esculenta).
This sought-after Bamboo is wonderfully versatile and thrives in most conditions but do be aware not to plant black bamboo in very windy exposed areas, this will cause the leaves to shred. And also if Black bamboo is planted in very well-drained soils it will need a high degree of watering and feeding to flourish.
Black Bamboo respond to water, they love a good drink. This is especially important for establishment of new plants. Adequate water will ensure survival, and more water will bring larger, more vigorous growth. Regular watering throughout the growing season, especially during new shoot season, brings the best results.
Black Bamboo thrive on good nutrition. if you want your Black bamboo to thrive and flourish, a regular liquid feed, composted manures, or any organic topdressing through the growing season will bring vigorous happy Black bamboo.

Cyca revoluta , £20

Although its leaves may be palm-like in appearance - thus its name - the sago palm is actually a cycad. A 'living fossil'the ancient sago palm was once the staple diet of dinosaurs.

Also known as the cyca revoluta, this impact plant is known for its iconic prehistoric appearance, it's architecural shape and a stunning set of near perfect fronds.

During the growing season, the sago palm can be placed outside, although it is best to keep it in its pot to ensure it can be moved back indoors easily before the end of Autumn. Look for a situation that is light but not in full sun from noon to 3pm when the sunlight is at it's harshest, this will cause the fronds to bleach. The sago palm does very well as an interior plant and again benefits from a light open situation but away from the harsh midday sun.

Cyca revoluta should be kept no more than moist throughout the growing season and watered only occasionally through winter. In terms of feeding, look to apply a balanced liquid feed monthly from mid-April to September, this helps to keep the fronds strong and healthy

The fronds on the Cyca revoluta will give you some indication as to it's well-being:

The old fronds may turn yellow from over watering or too much fertilizer.
New fronds may turn yellow from excess fertilizer or poor soil conditions.

Once the fronds lose condition remove them.

Give the Sago palm and tidy-up once a year removing old fronds that have lost condition, this should help to stimulate new fronds from the centre.

Those wanting to create a comprehensive exotic display should consider teaming it up with some indoor palms to add variation and structure.Pygmy date palms (Phoenix roebelenii) is a palm that works well alongside the Sago Palm

Common Name: Sago palm

Situation: Full sun, well-drained/moist soil .
Eventual Height and Spread: 6m x 2m .
Hardiness: Hardy .
Contact us for larger sizes. .
Known as the Windmill Palm or Chusan palm, this hardy and reliable Palm tree is renowned for its tall upright growth habit, creating excellent structure and presence in any environment.
The Chusan palm's glossy green fan-shaped tropical leaves lend themselves perfectly to tropical planting areas. Not only does it work well alongside palms such as the Jelly Palm and the Miniature Chusan Palm, but the palm adds fantastic depth and structure when planted amongst bananas (Musa basjoo) and Elephant's Ear (Colocasia esculenta), creating a wonderful jungle effect.

Although the Trachycarpus fortunei is hardy in just about all situations, its foliage does lose condition when planted out in really exposed environments. IfTrachycarpus fortuneiis potted it will really benefit from a monthly feed throughout the growing season to add richness and vigour to the foliage. As with all potted palms make sure it is kept moist throughout dry-spells.
Trachycarpus fortunei is also known as the Chusan Palm or Windmill Palm.

Situation: Part sun to shade in moist soils
Flowering period: January to March
Hardiness:Hardy
Eventual Height and Spread: 6m x 4m

Keep well watered in dry periods throughout Spring to prevent buds dropping.
Camellia does benefit from an annual top dress of manure or well-rotted leaf mould.
Prune lightly to maintain a good shape after flowering.
If planting in a pot use well draining but rich compost.
Camellia really does like acid soils, if your soil is limey look to mix in healthy amount of organic matter or ericaceous compost.

Grevillea johnsonii Size: Sold in an 8 litre pot (60cm tall), £36

A beautiful, graceful Austrailan evergreen, Grevillea johnsonii is one of the most floriferous of all Grevillea, flowering through long periods throughout the growing season.

As Grevillea johnsonii is not fully hardy, it makes an excellent potted plant, positioned in full sun throughout the warmer months and then placed into a conservatory or greenhouse for winter.

Very little care is needed for any Grevillea, and Grevillea johnsonii is no exception. Occasional watering and feeding throughout the growing season is all that is needed, but, ideally look to dead-head after flowering to help promote shape and further flowering

Known as:Johnson's Grevillea
Situation: In a pot in full baking hot sun

Eventual Height and Spread: 1.2m x 0.8m

Prostanthera rotundifolia Size: Sold in a 5 litre pot (60cm tall), £12

Its unsual rounded leaf shape and it's tidy rounded growth habit means the Prostanthera remains an attactive plant throughout the year.

Prostanthera will work well in traditional beds as well as Mediterranean schemes as well of course as Australiasian planting schemes amongst other Australian plants such as the Bottlebrush, Grevillea, Leptospurmum and Melaleuca.

Prostanthera is a very unfussy plant, give as much sun as possible and give it a prune back in spring after flowering. Prostanthera is a plant that copes very well in fairly exposed sites.

Prostanthera rotundifolia is also known as the Australian Mint Bush.

Cycad like inappearance this native to South and East Africa has thick fleshy leaves polished to a glossy sheen. TheZZ plant requires very little water or care in any way and seems to thrive on being completely ignored. Water Zamioculcas zamiifolia occasionally and make sure it doesn't sit too wet.

Stephanotis floribunda , £16

Asplenium scolopendrium , £8

Yucca filamentosa 'Variegata' - Variegated Yucca filamentosa , £12

A much under-rated and under-used arid plant, that proves very hardy and very reliable.

Yucca filamentosa Variegataproduces dense clumps of stiff blue leaves edged with fine curly hairs, which gives the plant it name 'filamentosa'. On mature plants, huge flower-spikes, appear in mid-summer.

This variegatedhardy yucca is an understated architectural foliage plant, perfect for dry sunny spots, very much at home in dry gardens, rockeries and amongst like-minded arid plants. It really does very well in a pot, and is teriffic in coastal exposed areas.

Hedera helix 'golden kolibri' - Variagated Ivy , £9

A showy variety of the good old English ivy. It's striking, golden variagated foliage does make it a far more notable plant than traditional Ivy.

Hedera helix 'golden kolibri' is excellent for screening, covering pergolas, trailing from pots or creating a colourful backdrop. It is vigorous, hardy, evergreen and and has all the virtues of English Ivy, but is just a little bit more interesting to look at.

As would be expected this Ivy is a very unfussy climber and will do well in just about any situation and soil type. As with any ivy, Hedera helix 'golden kolibri' can be trimmed any time of the year, so you can keep it trained to the shape and size you want it.

Musa sikkimensis Red Tiger - Hardy Banana , £14.4

Musa Red Tiger is very similar to the other hardy banana Musa basjoo apart from its large green leaves are striped with vivid red markings. The only other real difference between the two is that the Musa Red Tiger is a little hardier than the Musa basjoo, and tolerates windy conditions better.

Musa Red Tigeris an excellent foliage plant to bring a tropical atmosphere to any planting scheme. TheMusa Red Tigeris known as a hardy banana but this only applies to the bulb of the plant. The main stem and leaves will usually die back in winter if left unprotected and re-shoot in the following spring. Alternatively pot up Musa sikkimensis prior to the first frosts and over-winter them indoors as an indoor plant.

As with most herbaceous tropical plants,Musa sikkimensis love to be spoilt with water and nutrients, keep these tropical plants well-watered and feed plenty. In simple terms the more water and food - the bigger the tropical plant, and the more lush and vigorous the growth.

Look to use Musa basjoo in fairly sheltered spots, planted amongst other tropical foliage plants such as theColocasia esculenta, Alocasia, andHedychium coronarium. Amongst these to keep all year round interest, use some evergreen tropical-effect plants such as theWindmill Palm(Trachycarpus fortuneii) andFatsia japonica.

Musa Red Tigeris also known as the Darjeeling Banana.

Works well with - Dwarf fan palm, Cordyline australis, Pampass grass.

Division of the plant for reduction or propogation can be carried out in early spring, this will require an axe, strong hands, patience and will power, or ideally someone else.

A truly striking Agave, its shape and contrasting foliage colours gives it this marginata variety fantastic architectural value.

Agave americana 'Marginata' is ideally suited to hot sunbaked planting areas in dry gardens, rock gardens or as a potted specimen.

The key with growing this variagated Agave is to find a planting environment that is very well drained, and in full-sun. So when planting out add additional grit or gravel to the planting hole to maximise drainage. To prevent the base of the Agave americana marginata sitting wet in winter, when planting try to raise it slightly above the surrounding area, so water runs from it rather than to it.

In the colder parts of the UK and in colder than usual winters try to keep the Agave americana as dry as possible and free from a build-up of snow.

We do recommend growing Agave americana in pots allowing the plant to be shifted into hot spots for the summer months and then moved to a sheltered spot undercover in winter.

When potted give the Agave americana marginata an occasional water through summer and feed 2-3 times. In winter keep the plant as dry as possible, while it is dormant.

Chamaerops humilis 'Cerafera' Size: Sold in a 10 litre pot (40cm tall), £45

Chamaerops humilis 'Cerifera' is a multi-trunked evergreen blue fan palm native to Southern Europe.

Here a five reasons to plant the exceptional Blue Mediterranean Fan Palm:

Very hardy - will tolerate most conditions, but do give Chamaerops humilis 'Cerifera' as much sun as possible to accentuate the striking silver/blue foliage.

Coastal/Exposed sites - You live on the coast, nothing seems to work - Chamaerops humilis 'Cerifera' will, this palm tree is very tolerant of windy enviroments.

Impact - The contrast offered by the silver/blue foliage makes Chamaerops humilis 'Cerifera' an excellent focal point as a standalone specimen, or amongst other structural plants giving contrast to other foliage.

Low maintenance - A slow growing specimen, Chamaerops humilis 'Cerifera' is shorter than other palm trees - often only reaching head height. Chamaerops humilis 'Cerifera' requires little upkeep, ideally give a monthly application of foliar feed from mid-April to September. To keep tidy prune back old fronds in spring and autumn.

Themed - its striking appearance lends itself of course to Palm tree plantings but also and especially to Mediterranean planting schemes. And due to it's silver/blue foliage Chamaerops humilis 'Cerifera' also works well in dry/arid planting schemes.

We like to use Chamaerops humilis 'Cerifera' amongst other palms such as Dwarf fan Palm, and the Date Palm, and amongst Olive trees and Oleander. For something different use arid plants such as Agave , Yuccas or Dasylirion.

Chamaerops humilis 'Cerifera' is also known as Blue Mediterranean Fan Palm or just the Blue Fan Palm

The Hottentot Fig (Carpobrotus edulis) is a vigorous mat-forming succulent native to South Africa, but is commonly found throughout the Americas and the Mediterranean. Carpobrotus is definitely the kind of plant you would see when on holiday overseas or maybe wander across along the beaches and coves of Cornwall and Devon

Carpobrotus edulis is very vigorous and an excellent choice for ground covering in dry gardens or for trailing over rockeries or rock walls. Carpobrotus edulis loves well-drained soil and full sun and will thrive in the most windy/coastal conditions.

Carpobrotus edulis does prove hardy in coastal areas in the UK and certainly in the milder parts of the UK, but can be susceptible to heavy frosts and certainly snow. The best way to manage Carpobrotus edulis where protection is necessary is to keep the plant potted and then give a sheltered position in winter, ideally in a greenhouse, where the plant should not be watered.

Agapanthus africanus is a great choice in a wide range of applications from formal beds, to dry gardens or Mediterranean planting schemes, and is also a popular choice in containers. TheAgapanthus africanusis widely used in exposed areas happily tolerating strong/coastal winds.

Caring for Agapanthus africanus is fairly straight-forward. Agapanthus has fairly average watering needs throughout the growing season (mid-April to September) , keep the plant moist but not waterlogged.
Feed Agapanthus africanus regularly with a high potash feed throughout the growing season to encourage flowering.Agapanthus africanus will thrive in full sun and well-drained soil, the soil isimportant as winter water-logging will generally rot the dormant bulbs. If the soilis poorly drainedgrow Agapanthus africanus in a container.

It is recommended to keep Agapanthus africanuspot-bound to encourage flowering, this is indeed true, but be careful with this approach, if the Agapanthus africanus is too pot-bound it will cause the plant to flower poorly and eventually die.

Sarracenia hybrid , £8

From wasps, earwigs, flies, and even slugs, our new Carnivorous plants will prove to be an effective and environmentally friendly form of pest control. But more than that, they offer real architectural value with their tall cylindrical pitchers in colours varying from red to purple to cream white. These plants are very hardy, and require very little care, but they must be kept moist throughout the year. Ideally water the plant with rainwater. Close your eyes if you are squeemish this is how it works - Water collects at the base of the vertical pitcher, attracting insects. Once on the rim of the pitcher the poor unsuspecting insect loses its footing on the slippery surface and falls into the water. The insect cannot escape by climbing the inner walls due to fine down-pointing hairs on the inner walls. The poor insect now dies, decomposes and is absorbed to finish of a truly miserable day.

Trachycarpus wagnerianus Size: Sold in a 10 litre pot (50cm tall), £45

Firstly the 'miniature' in the name refers to the leaf size, which is slightly smaller than that of its brother the Chusan palm tree. Also known as the Trachycarpus wagnerianus, the miniature chusan palm shares many features with the Chusan palm (Trachycarpus fortunei), including a hairy trunk and tall stature.

It is one of the best options for coastal and exposed situations and is equally at home in a pot as a specimen plant or as a compact conservatory plant. In a tropical-themed planting area this palm tree works well amongst other hardy palms like the Jelly Palm (Butia capitata) and the Dwarf fan Palm (Chamaerops humilis), each adding architectural interest through their contrasting fronds.

Trachycarpus wagnerianus does best in well-drained or light soil and full sun. The miniature chusan palm will respond well to a monthly feed from mid-April to September, which helps to promote healthy, strong foliage. Very little pruning is needed for this palm tree, just a spring and autumn tidy-up of old tatty fronds.

Although its leaves may be smaller than the chusan palm, the miniature chusan palm will still have a similar effect on visitors to your garden - it will look truly striking and give even the most drab corner of a garden a truly exotic feel.

Fatsia japonica Size: Sold in a 3 litre pot (30cm tall), £9

Searching for an exotic complement to your palm trees and bamboo plants?

Look no further than the Japanese aralia, also known as the Fatsia japonica or castor oil plant, a striking, larger than life specimen that is perfect for adding tropical foliage to a like-minded planting scheme.

What makes the Fatsia japonica stand out as such an effective shrub is its versatility. Fatsia is very happy in just about any location indoors or out. Indors it is frequently used because it does so well in poorly lit spaces, whereas most indoor plants require better light levels. Outdoors the Fatsia again proves its versatility residing happily in dark shady corners or in exposed, sunny and even windy situations.

Fatsia japonica is really one of the few evergreen shrubs that can offer a year round tropical presence with its big glossy-leaved tropical foliage. The fact that the Fatsia can tolerate shadysituations and is evergreen really does make this plant invaluable, as so few evergreen shrubs can thrive in this role.

Throughout the growing season give Fatsia japonica plenty of water and fertilizer to really encourage it's growth rate and vigour. Fatsia japonica is hardy but can pick up foliage damage in winter in the colder parts of the UK. The damaged foliage can be removed in spring, allowing for vigorous regrowth.

Due to it's tropical appearance we like to work Fatsia japonica into tropical themes with palms such as the Chusan palm (Trachycarpus fortuneii) or any bamboo variety. Working inshady situations plant Fatsia japonica amongst other shade lovers such as tree ferns (Dicksonia antactica) and Giant Rhubarb (Gunnera manicata).

The blue hesper palm tree is the perfect choice for those who know that variety really is the spice of life.

One of the most distinctive palm trees available, this spectacular specimen is renowned for its silvery blue fan-shaped leaves.

Also known as the Brahea armata, it is often used to add architectural flair to exotic-themed borders or intrigue to a drab corner of a garden

The blue hesper palm will offer a great contrast due to its striking hue, meaning it can slot in next to more conventionally-coloured palms such as the dwarf fan palm (Chamaerops humilis) or jelly palm (Butia capitata).

To ensure good growth and to retain the striking foliage colour, gardeners should give the blue hesper a bright sunny position and plant in well-drained soil.

The Brahea armata is as with most palm trees faily low maintenance. Look to keep the plant moist (but not waterlogged) through the growing season, this is especially important if potted, and apply a liquid feed monthly through this period to promote strong healthy fronds.

Gardeners who team the Brahea armata with other fine specimens such as the Canary Island date palm (Phoenix canariensis) will be left feeling far from blue.

Ficus carica Size: Sold in a 3 litre pot (40cm tall), £18

Anyone who owns a fig tree will attest that there are few things more satisfying than growing your own.

Also known as Ficus carica, this deciduous spreading shrub or small tree is simple to grow and produces a tasty crop of fruit every year.

A Fig Treerequires well-drained soil and idealy full sun to ensure it flourishes and produces a goodquality crop. The Fig tree does benefit from a sheltered spot but it is surprisingly tough and can tolerate some pretty exposed conditions.

Caring for a Fig tree is comes down to watering, feeding and pruning. Look to water theFigTree regularly through dry hot spells, especially if potted,but do not leave waterlogged.

An application of liquid feed every two to four weeks through the growing seasonis alsoadvised to help encourage a good crop and keep healthy foliage.

Pruning is important for a Fig tree to retain a good open shelf to ensure healthy fruits. Cut back a third of the main branches in winter when dormant and trim back any secondary branches that are running along the same lines as the main branches. Without getting too complicated look to create a rounded yet open crown for your Fig tree. Also in most cases don't let the fig tree get more than a couple of metres tall as this will make it difficult to harvest the figs.

Following these simple steps should ensure that an abundant crop of figs can be picked from around August to September.

A fig tree is doubly useful - giving a garden an exotic feel and helping green-fingered enthusiasts to cook up a storm in the kitchen.

Why leave your exotic exuberance at the backdoor?

There are plenty of options for those who wish to bring their tropical tastes into their home - and there are few more striking choices than the pygmy date palm.

This medium-sized indoor plant - also known as the Phoenix roebelenii - requires bright or semi bright indoor spaces, meaning it could be perfect for a conservatory.

Its feathery deep green leaves are beautiful in their own right, but the real ace up the pygmy date palm's sleeve is its bunches of cream, bowl-shaped flowers, which appear on mature specimens during the summer.

The size and shape of the pygmy date palm mean it is perfect for placing in a cluster of other indoor palms - the kentia palm (Howea forsteriana) and bamboo palm (Chamaedorea seifrizii) are great complements.

When it comes to looking after the pygmy date palm, a little care and attention at the right time of year goes a long way.
Apply a liquid feed every month during the growing season, and keep the palm tree moist throughout the growing season, reducing the watering going into winter.

Investing in indoor palms such as the pygmy date palm will ensure visitors to your home can be impressed by your exotic displays all year round.

, £18

Musa basjoo (Japanese hardy banana) has stunning tropical foliage - large bright green leaves arching up from a main stem. An excellent foliage plant to bring a tropical atmosphere to any garden. On mature plants, inedible (believe me I've tried) bananas form. The Musa basjoo is known as the 'hardy banana' but this only applies to the bulb of the plant. The main stem and leaves will usually die back in winter if left unprotected and re-shoot in the following spring. Alternatively pot up Musa basjoo prior to the first frosts and over-winter them indoors as an indoor plant.

As with most herbaceous tropical plants the Musa basjoo loves to be spoilt with water and nutrients, keep these tropical plants well-watered and feed plenty. In simple terms the more water and food - the bigger Musa basjoo will get.

Look to use Musa basjoo in fairly sheltered spots, planted amongst other tropical foliage plants such as the Colocasia esculenta, Alocasia, and Hedychium coronarium. Amongst these to keep all year round interest, use some evergreen tropical-effect plants such as the Windmill Palm (Trachycarpus fortuneii) and Fatsia japonica.

Nerium oleander Size: Sold in a 3 litre pot (30cm tall), £14

Nerium oleander usually just called Oleander is instantly recognised as an iconicMediterraneanplant. Oleander is an evergreen semi-hardy shrubthat puts on a tremendous show of large brightly coloured flowers through mid-summer.

In the milder parts of the UK and in coastal areas theOleander proves fairly hardy and will probably be content in a bright sunny spot throughout the year. In the colder parts look to either protectthe Oleander or keep the Oleander potted where it can be left in full sun through the warmer months and then moved in to a sheltered spot,greenhouse or conservatory for winter.

Oleander is an essential selection for aMediterraneanplanting area alongside Dwarf Fan Palms, Fig Trees, Olive Trees and Bay trees.

To maintain a good dense shape and to promote flowering prune back Oleander after the last frosts in winter and prune again after flowering.

Oleander only requires moderate watering through the growing season, and will benefit from a monthly application of liquid feed to keep thefoliage healthy and to promote further flowering.

Oleander is a toxic plant and if ingested in sufficient quantities it can be deadly. We do not recommend planting Oleander around dogs or youngchildren.

Dicksonia antartica , £30

The Dicksonia antarctica also known by other names such as the Tasmanian Tree Fern, Soft Tree Fern or just Tree Fern is by far the hardiest tree fern, making it ideal for growing outdoors in the UK.

These hardy tree ferns are best placed in a sheltered spot, sheltered from strong winds and importantly sheltered from harsh sunlight. An ideal spot for a tree fern is somewhere that offers dappled light, so in and amongst other taller trees.

The tree fern is a very very slow growing plant, but correct watering and feeding will go along way to encourage the growth rate, and produce a handsome set of fronds.

The key to feeding and watering a tree fern is that the vast percentage of the nutrient and moisture uptake for the fern is through its crown. Throughout the growing season (April - September) water on a regular basis through the crown and importantly apply a liquid feed via the crown every 2-3 weeks. Feeding tree ferns is really important not only will this feed encourage healthy strong fronds for the current seaons, but it will also nourish next seasons fronds too.

For protection in winter, tree ferns are generally hardy up to around -8oc, up to the this temperature really no protection will be necessary, in most cases the fronds will lose condition and die, but they will happily regrow the following spring. For colder temperatures place a bundle of horticultural fleece in the crown of the tree fern, this will offer insulation from frosts and snow throughout winter. Some will go to far more involved processes of protection including chicken wire framework and straw, but only in the very coldest areas will this be necessary.

In most cases due to the brittle nature of the Dicksonia antarctica fronds, the fronds will be removed prior to dispatch on larger sizes.

Colocasia esculenta Size: Sold in a 1 litre pot (20cm tall), £6

Colocasia esculenta is also known by the common names; taro and elephant ear.

Elephant ear plants have been used in cultivation for many thousands of years are likely to be native to South-East Asia. They are widely used in tropical plantings due to their stunning big bold leaves that are iconically jungle in effect. Colocasia esculenta are herbaceous perennials that grow at a tremendous rate through the growing season, constantly sending out new foliage creating an impressive tropical display.

The most important thing to know when growing colocasia esculenta is that they love to be spoilt with water and nutrients, keep the colocasia esculenta well-watered and feed plenty. In simple terms the more water and food - the bigger the Colocasia.

Colocasias grow very well as a marginal plant around ponds and water features, and are perfectly happy grown in shallow water. The elephants ear will be happy in full sun but will tolerate fairly shady situations too. For the very best effect plant out these tropical jungle plants in clumps of three to create a monster tropical display.

The Colocasia esculenta is a perfect choice for creating a tropical planting scheme and works wonderfully with other jungle plants such as the Ginger Lilly (Hedychium coronarium) or with the contrasting Taro Plant (Colocasia esculenta 'Black Magic'). For a foliage plant in tropical planting areas or for a touch of the tropical around ponds and water features few are more effective than the colocasia esculenta.

Colocasia esculenta will die back around the time of the first frosts. At this time the plant can be cut back and the bulbs lifted and stored dry for winter. Or if the soil is well-drained the colocasia can be cut down and mulched over, which should adequately protect the bulb for winter. Alternatively pot them up prior to the weather turning cold and over-winter them indoors as an indoor plant.

Fertilizer is essential for Colocasia esculenta to get the very best from the plant, as is the case with most jungle plants. Click on Foliar Feed for our own formulated fertilizer, perfect for encouraging healthy strong foliage.
