AI summary
Create your own tropical garden paradise with a layered planting plan. Use feature, filler, and spiller plants like Pohutukawa, Hibiscus, and Star Jasmine to achieve a lush, authentic look.
These gardens thrive from Tauranga north but need frost protection in other sunny spots. They require frequent watering, mulching, and regular feeding to stay vibrant.
Complete the island vibe with accessories like water features, outdoor lighting, and bamboo torches for the perfect backyard escape.
