About this collection
Tropical Landscaping Ideas, explained.
Tropical landscaping borrow from resort design: palms and broad-leafed planting, teak and thatch, water that sits right beside the lounge chairs, and shade structures built for long afternoons.
Climate matters here — the planting palette that makes a tropical landscaping design sing needs the right zone or the right substitutes. Save the compositions, then work with a landscaper on plants that will thrive where you live.
Tropical landscaping stacks canopy palms over broad-leafed shrubs over groundcover, with water and warm stone woven through. In cooler climates, hardy look-alikes deliver the same layered effect.
