AI summary
Create your own tropical garden paradise with a layered planting plan. Use feature plants for height, filler plants like Hibiscus for body, and spiller plants like Star Jasmine for ground cover.
These gardens thrive in warmer, frost-free climates from Tauranga north, but can succeed in sunnier spots like Nelson. They require significant watering, mulching, and regular feeding.
Complete your island escape with accessories like water features, outdoor lighting, and tropical-themed decor for an authentic feel.
