Now you may be asking what on earth is this all about. Let me explain. A garden requires many elements to be successful but one of the most important is eye-popping attention-getting color and texture. And the only plants that can give you that in the extravagance that makes gardening worthwhile are tropicals and annuals. Now, everyone does containers and that is fabulous. But when you go Carmen Miranda those plants jump right out of the containers and into your garden beds. They may combine with hardy plants or they may create beds of pure tropicalissmo. Either way the result is true garden ecstasy.
