Cold Hardy Tropical Plants / Unique Plants For Cold Climates

Date: 2021-11-04

Tropical plant dupes! I have wanted to make a video for a long time focusing on plants that give that nice tropical look, but can also survive the cold. Here is a list of 25 (actually way more) cold hardy tropical plants. While cold hardy bananas and cold hardy palm trees are the standard for a tropical looking garden, there are a ton of plants that have unique characteristics to give any garden an exotic look. Most of the plants in this list are good in zone 6 and some into zone 4 and five. I suggest researching each that you are interested in growing to determine if you will need to protect them and to what degree. Below I will add links to websites with great info on cold hardy cactus and succulents as well as just good sources for where to buy cold hardy tropical plants. All of the plants in the video are listed in the chapters below.

Disclaimer: a true tropical plant is one that grows between the tropic of cancer and tropic of capricorn, along the equator and in areas that are generally free of frost; though some grow at high elevations of course and experience cold. The plants in the list are those that look tropical or just combine well to give an exotic look for gardens in cold climates.
