Nothing increases the pleasure of outdoor living as much as a patio.
And because of Florida's warm climate, we are able to enjoy patio living year round. To enhance the patio, it is not too late to plant certain patio plants for a lush, tropical effect and seasonal beauty. Some of these are fatsia , aucuba , dwarf azalea, rice paper plant , dwarf holly, dwarf yaupon, plumbago , sedum, Texas sage , dwarf juniper, nandina, English ivy, fatshedra, vinca, ajuga, liriope, daylilies, caladium and ferns. Know the plant's growing requirements and ultimate size. A careful selection of the patio tree is important.
