Cold Hardy Tropical Plants / Unique Plants For Cold Climates
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 июл 2024
- Tropical plant dupes! I have wanted to make a video for a long time focusing on plants that give that nice tropical look, but can also survive the cold. Here is a list of 25 (actually way more) cold hardy tropical plants. While cold hardy bananas and cold hardy palm trees are the standard for a tropical looking garden, there are a ton of plants that have unique characteristics to give any garden an exotic look. Most of the plants in this list are good in zone 6 and some into zone 4 and five. I suggest researching each that you are interested in growing to determine if you will need to protect them and to what degree. Below I will add links to websites with great info on cold hardy cactus and succulents as well as just good sources for where to buy cold hardy tropical plants. All of the plants in the video are listed in the chapters below.
Part two:
• Cold Hardy Tropical Pl...
Disclaimer: a true tropical plant is one that grows between the tropic of cancer and tropic of capricorn, along the equator and in areas that are generally free of frost; though some grow at high elevations of course and experience cold. The plants in the list are those that look tropical or just combine well to give an exotic look for gardens in cold climates.

Plants that move with the wind are the bomb! That’s what Florida has that’s so lovely about! Grasses that sway and bloom with plumes, palms, bright color flowers/fruits!!! I’m in Florida, my home! It’s the best! NO hard looking plants for me!!
You should try pawpaws three tropical fruits and look tropical and there native to North America and edible
Wow , I can’t believe tropicals can survive up there. I’ve just started appreciating these hardy plants. I live in Texas , and I had a lot of high maintenance type plants, and our last winter just killed everything except the few aroids that I had. So I’m focusing on them now and enjoying the heck out of them.
I've been doing research for weeks and you just gave me everything I needed in one video!!! Thank you so much!!
Thank you! I am planting a tropical alley on the side of house( zone 6a) Michigan and this is so helpful ! Am nostalgic for home ( Southern California and need a slice of Cali with the yard).
It's tough to get the tropical look in a cold climate but you are sure doing it!
Hi Jeff! I never get tired of your "rambling"! I just enjoy listening to you talk. I'm glad you explained why you like the tropical look. It makes so much sense, and I agree that it can get boring seeing everything the same. I'm not into boxwoods as hedges, but there are a few that stay small that would be pretty in pots. You have, and showed some really interesting varieties of plants that if I had the room I'd like to try. I was wondering where Turbo was, and then all of a sudden he's there and doing the dognado thing. It was sweet seeing Toby, too. They're both so precious. Thank you so much for sharing!
💌 A new plant I love and if I had a garden I would have Croton Bush plants all around, they really look like Fall time with all the beautuful colors.🍁🍂🍃
so true! One of my all time favorites!
Jeff, you really articulated a large part of the reason I started a tropical garden. And I've also been mountain glade forest. Since I have no room for one in the backyard, in a few years I might put one in the front yard, fake rock outcroppings and everything.
I hear you about wanting to create a space that is special and different. I used to get mind numb while living in Texas... everything looked the same! Its really bored me to tears! I bet your neighbors enjoy seeing 'that guy on the corner' with his palm trees 🌴 🥰
It's so boring seeing the same thing over and over! Though I do think stl is pretty, just like my home space to feel removed from the day to day. Ha! I hope so. All I've heard is, "oh, you're the guy with the palm trees." 😁 that's me.
Superb video and information Jeff. Your garden is looking fantastic as always. Your reason from growing exotic style is exactly the same as mine. Something different, something that makes you feel you're elsewhere, at least temporarily. Much appreciated 👍
Love how you talk. So informative and genuine. Thanks for this. Looking for tropical ideas for zone 9 Ireland
Hey thanks for the garden tour. Working on my own garden this winter to start next year. I have evergreens & a few tropicals. A neighbor has 2-3 dozen banana plants in his yard & I just love the vibe & started researching & found your channel.
I think your video was super helpful. You did a great job....you need to do a spring summer and fall so we can see it all in different stages.
Well I got hit with frost this week in zone 6A-B. I did the mad plant dash this week. Fingers crossed on my palms. Pushing my plants this winter 🥶 and it’s gonna be a great learning year and maybe some tears. Thank you for all your videos learned so much. Looking forward to your garage indoor videos they give me my plant fix in winter Lol
Sounds relatable! Lol... had a similar week. Each year I'm shocked by how much hardy some plants are than I figured they would be.
Such a great video! I felt like I just took a plant class🎓🙌🏼🙏🏼 What a relaxing haven you have created in your yard💚
Haven't watched your videos in a while. Your garden is looking FANTASTIC! Thanks so much for sharing.
Hey Pat! Hope you have been well! Thank you!
I bought a poncirus after watching one of your videos, it's still kicking! Only about two feet tall, and I think it's ready to be repotted again.
Great video, as usual. :)
Thanks Brad! They are really cool plants! Has it flowered and fruited for you yet? The flowers smell wonderful!
The Acuba Japonica growing in my garden, was planted way back in the 1960's by my Mom. It pours here on the Oregon coast.....but it is on a slight bank, that can drain....but, it gets very wet in winter....I toss my leaf compost along side of it. This shrub is over my head after cut backs 3 years ago, cut down to 4 ft tall. It is about 9 feet across and cuttings shoved in ground seem to grow easily. From the 1960's it has occasionally dropped down in the teens for winter temps, not every year, but it does freeze here in winter. This shrub may drop some leaves if frozen too hard.., but it always comes right back in the spring..Mine is in a half shady spot...It can get leggy if left to grow wild like. A sturdy plant that asks for nothing. Clean look sunny yellowish polka dots in a shady spot.
Great flller for tropical type bouquets. Hugs.
That's a long lived plant with a lot of history! Thank you for sharing that with us all! 😊
Hey Jeff! This is a great list! If you’re gonna try a camellia, then the Sasanqua/oleifera & autumn blooming types are best for zone 6. Anytime I tried a Camellia japonica, anything that’s super cold (and prolonged) is going to kill the flower buds, even the zone 6a varieties. The shrub survives just fine but if you’re growing it for blossoms like most of us do… then it’s just frustrating to not have it flower.
I think that regular peach trees make a fantastic addition to the tropical garden, and are self fertile so you can still get a smaller crop and enjoy their foliage and contorted (through pruning) branch structure. But you absolutely need to have a trunk protector to keep the rabbits from girdling during the winter - don’t ask me how I know!😡 Agapanthus & elderberry are great too; elderberry is nice because they leaf out early.
Very nice video. Zone 7a here I grow tropical too. Many stay in the ground others I dig up. Good luck
Happy growing, Alvin! Lots of great options for zone 7. I bet your garden is beautiful!
Your garden is absolutely amazing. You are so talented!
Thanks so much for the video! I'm in Louisiana zone 9 a d would like the tropical look in my landscape as well. My yard isn't very big so I'm looking for ideas that I can use without making my yard look crowded. Also do not want it easy for snakes to hide. We've lived here almost 26 yrs and have only seen a snake about 5x but maybe that's because there's not many plants. Anyway thanks for sharing!
Schefflera taiwaniana with a good amount of protection is possible in a zone 6.
waiting to see how mine does this winter, fingers crossed it is as hardy, if not more hardy than people claim!
I grow many of the same plants as you in Niagara Falls, Canada. You've given me a few new ideas however. Never tried any of the Hedychiums or Crinums. If you're ever in the area, I would love to show you my garden. Clinton
Hi. From from south of Buffalo, NY. Can you tell me where you get the tropical plants near Niagara falls?
Another surprise! Thanks Jeff. Interesting zone 6 hardy plant list. Depending on how many some days I have left, someday I would love to start a smallish tropical area. I do have a banana tree planted, which surprised me by coming back after last winters extremely cold blast. Momma plant died but three pups survived and this year I have the mulch to cover them 🙂. Thank you again and take care until next time 🌺💚🙃
bananas can really surprise us with their hardiness! Hopefully you still have many "somedays" left! Maybe this winter will be more normal than the last few, if so then those banana pups will really take off next year!
You have me ideas I'm from Florida I miss home, but I live in Kansas 6b... thank you
So many fun plants to try in Kansas!
Great video Jeff I can attest to the cold hardiness of Rhapidophyllum hystrix and Sabal minor that I grow here in southern Ontario. This is the first year I'm protecting Trachycarpus so wish me luck lol🙏😁🌴
super sturdy palms for cold climates! Parts of Ontario, near the lakes are zone 7 aren't they? I've seen your plants, I'm sure they'll do great!
@@TropicalPlantParty Yeah some areas around the great lakes are 7a/b... Thanks bud!
Ficus carica "Chicago hardy" in my opinion is pretty tropical looking hardy to zone 5
great option!
I live in the metro area of st.louis. I will definitely be following you.
Bismarck palm would be a nice addition you your yard… they are gorgeous and May do well in the cold. I didn’t look it up. But, their leaves are blue gray… would be a nice nice contrast amidst all the green. I’m planning to grow them from seed… just need to order seeds… there are so many on my list. Thanks for all the great info!
Those are not even hardy to zone 8.
I see your Croton is growing well. Can you elaborate a little more on how u protect them in the winter
Crepe Myrtles the trunks are beautiful when they crack. I thought that is something that they are supposed to do. I live in the south in zone 9a where Crepe Myrtles are everywhere. Yes, sometimes have pest.
I’m looking for tropical hardy I had bananas last year. Have two trees maybe this year. Need this lesson.
So glad you finally put out this video. Had to watch it twice cuz I felt I was missing things. You've spent many years finding out what works and what doesn't in your zone. And I admire your reason for creating a tropical paradise. Why create a garden that looks like the one across the street or down your road?
Exactly! Gotta create a space that transports us elsewhere 😊
Is beautiful wowza ✨
Great list of plants. You are right about bikini tini, I have a section in my garden with them and have to dined time pulling out the runners so they don’t run wild. I thought you used to have a mule palm. Those are so hardy and beautiful. What happened to the mule or did you move it somewhere else
Oh I still have them both. During summer I keep them off the patio in their own area and November through the next spring they get moved back to the patio. Love those palms!
Maybe you could invent palm tree velcro on, insulated, water-proof, winter trunk jackets that go down over pots too....with optional plug in temp settings, that can be on a phone app. And pot spikes that screw into the ground to keep them anchored.😊
I've toyed around with some ideas and mock ups. Maybe someday!
I'm just barely into the video and felt the need to comment. ST. LOUIS, are you crazy? The climate there would certainly present challenges to say the least. As long as you're willing to put in the work of protecting them, I say why not?
Any broadleaf evergreens that can be grown in your zone?
I live in central ca 9b so would they be ok here? Dry climate
What’s shade tropical plants for zone 7 in pots tru winter survival
Your yard is gorgeous!!!!!!
Thank you!
I’m in SE Michigan and I think I have an in-ground Yucca plant with almost 24” pointy leaves near our lake edge. Is it OK to cut only the pointy leaves down almost flush with the ground before winter? I think we did this by accident when we moved here in Fall 2020, thinking it was a weed and it came back and has even expanded to 3-4 sections. sorry I don’t know the terminology but it seems healthy, and it will get covered with snow here in a few months until March or April.
im in zone 8 are all of these ok for my area?
We're trying a raja puri this year in zone 7🤞🏽
They are one of, if not my favorite bananas! I hope they do well for you!
You need a greenhouse. Beautiful yard!
Seeing how you’re a palm fanatic like myself I was wondering your feelings on arenga engleri and if you’ve ever tried growing one? They’re one of the more cold hardy clustering palms from what I’ve heard
dwarf sugar palms! Love them! Not at all hardy for zone 6, but a good option for a houseplant that can be left outside longer than most others. I don't know of anyone growing them colder than 9a, but I haven't researched that very much. Would think they'd be ok with brief dips into the 20sF and maybe very brief upper teens. Possibly would die back to the ground and return with the summer warmth like a chinese fan palm? Thats all just speculation, I don't know for sure.
What tree is that at the 0:06 mark? Sorry if I missed it in the video. I am in zone 7 and would love to have something like.
Are your bananas planted on the south side of your house? Thank you.
Great video
Umm maybe i missed it but what about the big ass 30 ft palm tree we see in the beginning ? I want one zone 7
Living in 7b and windmill palm is the most common palm of all grown here
Hi. Love your video. Straight to the point. Btw what state do you live in? I’m in Southern California which is 9b zone. Is there any tropical plants or flower you’d recommend? Thank you
Thanks, Noah! I'm in ST. Louis, Missouri, on the like of zone 6a/6b. There are tons of great tropicals for 9b, I don't even know where to begin. Heliconias are always a favorite of mine, similar to orange bird of paradise. Both are excellent plants, the orange bird of paradise will be more drought tolerant, heliconias can be water hogs.
Tree ferns are fantastic, they help make a dry garden /dry climate look more lush. Of course palm trees, the King palms look beautiful in socal. There are tons of unique hibiscus to pick from. I'm going to think more about drought tolerant options and get back to you. Hopefully this was of some help. 😊
@@TropicalPlantParty thank you so much for all the info and getting back to me. I’ll def give it a try to hibiscus 🌺 the tricky part about where I live is the temperature. In the dry summer it can get above 90f and some weeks it drops below 50f at night. That’s why the only plant I put in the soil is bird of paradise 😂 I guess they can tolerate such a wide range of temperature. For other outdoors plants I just keep them in the containers so then I can move them inside whenever it’s cold at night 🥶 or move them to the shade due to the heat.
Live in central pa, zone 6 i think(whatever zone philly is, were the same) i dont even cover or winter my bajoos. In mid november i chop them down and thats it. Every year so far theyve come back bigger plus one year i even got sweet mini edible bananas! It was a small clump of 3 which was wierd, also there was zero seeds and it tasted very good. Idk how this is possible for bananas to grow in pennsylvania with zero protection plus edible fruit
They are tough! I don't always protect mine, I just prefer to mulch them to maintain some stem and give them more to take off from in the spring. That's very interesting about the fruits being tasty, haven't heard that about a basjoo before. Awesome!
NICE VIDEO !!! Very engaging from the beginning to the END.Nevertheless business and investment are the best way to make money irrespective of the pandemic 😷

@0:56 Thank you!... Exactly.
Why do landscapers here (8a) plant Boxwoods, Barberrys, Maples, and forsythia ?!?!? They are everywhere. Plants that are hardy to like what... zone 3!?! WHY!!!! Never have we EVER in recorded climactic history dropped down to -35F! *end rant*
Your sabal minors have really filled in well this year and look great Jeff!
That's the same generic stuff they plant up here and it bores the heck out of me, so many better options! If i were in 8a and that's what was planted everywhere, i'd lose my mind! What!? Why!? Well... bc they are cheap, grown in mass and easy to get ahold of. Still, lots of better options for 8a. dumb!
@@TropicalPlantParty Cheap, low maintenance or NO maintenance, and low interest in landscaping probably.
It does bore me. I get so aggravated when I see these new houses being built with just loads of boxwoods and barberrys being planted... makes me want to set fire to them! LOL!
Would these work in Colorado?
OMGosh I missed you!
Very interesting. I'm from Turkey, we have all sorts of climate zones. However, I'm very curious what is average winter temperature and what is the lowest winter temperature in your city? (By the way, pardon me, but I might have skipped that part, but what city are you filming it?)
Holy Shit!! I live in St Louis and was looking up videos about tropical plants to see if anyone was close to my area that could offer advice and wammo.
Thanks for the walk thru... Very inspiring... What state do u live in
Thank you 😊 I'm in St. Louis, Missouri, zone 6b.
so what state is your zone 6 garden in?
i got a 3 foot and a bit windmill palm for 45 USD on amazon
Shits fire yo
"who keeps putting the pool equipment there?"
well, you live alone so.... either you or Turbo.
See, I was going to say "what about Gunnera" but apparently you're on top of that. And I don't think Tetrapanax would survive in your zone, maybe if you mulch it the roots would, but it would surely die back to the ground in the winter.
Both don't do well here. Too hot for the gunnera, and too cold for the tetrapanax to get very large. Tetrapanax will do fine as a die-back perennial, but for me they only manage to get 4 or 5 feet tall each year after they've died back for the winter. May as well just plant castor beans. ... unless you have a puppy that has to taste everything in sight.
Do you cut down the banana trees in winter ?
Me, saying im not gonna add anything to my list 🤥
