tropical landscaping

Exotic outdoor planting

Tropical landscaping is the design and cultivation of outdoor spaces using plants native to or evocative of tropical regions—palms, ferns, hibiscus, bird of paradise, and other lush, broad-leaved vegetation.

The style aims for dense, layered greenery that suggests a warm, humid climate: The resort's tropical landscaping made guests feel like they'd arrived in paradise.

Common in Florida, Hawaii, and coastal California, but attempted wherever climate or microclimate permits.
