Garden column: Tropical plants add touch of fun | St. Cloud TIMES | sctimes.com: "Our weather may not be tropical, but you can still have a tropical look in your garden.

Tropical plants add an exotic element to patios, decks and other backyard spaces, and most tropical plants are no more difficult to grow than petunias or calibrachoas.

Tropical plants need heat, so late planting is good. You could plant something this weekend and it would probably be happier than if you planted it during our frigid May."
