Growing Tropical Flowering and Foliage Plants in Chicago

When it comes to growing tropical plants some gardeners 
will tell you that these plants cannot be grown in temperate 
climates. 

Fortunately, this is not true. This video shows that tropical
plants can be grown successfully in Chicago.





In temperate climates, gardeners are able to grow beautiful 
tropical flowering and foliage plants in pots. 

During the warmer months tropical plants can be grown 
successfully outdoors.

During the colder months some plants, like Begonia
Caladium and Canna, can be allowed to go dormant. 

Others like Bougainvillea, Croton, Gardenia, Hibiscus
Jasmine and Plumeria, to name a few, can be grown 
successfully indoors if proper growing conditions are 
provided.

Plumeria plants can be allowed to go dormant as well, if
growing space is an issue.
