Get the feel of a tropical oasis with Texas-friendly plants
Between last year's excessive drought and our increasingly warmer
temperatures, it's easy to feel discouraged about your landscape. Do you
find yourself wishing for a lush, green garden in the middle of our hot
summers? Will the hot temperatures have you longing for a tropical paradise
someplace with bold, exotic plants and hot colors? You can create a
tropical-looking garden right here in Central Texas using native or adapted
drought-tolerant plants.True tropical plants are wild plants from the equatorial areas bordered by the
Tropic of Cancer to the north and the Tropic of Capricorn to the south.
Inside this swath, tropical plants live in both cool upland environments and
in hot, steamy lowlands.
