Join Kirsten Segler from The Greenery and discover some fun tropical plants! All of these Colocasia and Canna Lily tropicals feature large leaves and come in a variety of colours. These plants tend to do best in half day sun, half day shade. Use shade cloth over the plants to create the perfect light filter!

Part 1 of the series focuses on the tropical plants we've grown in our water feature. If you plan to plant these in the water as well, please be aware that they will grow much larger than if you plant them in the ground or in a pot!

Part 2 of the series focuses on the tropical plants we've grown from planters. Stay tuned until the end for a small outtake ;)
