Tropical foliage plants are the backbone of a lush garden. Flowers come and go. Leaves are what you look at every day of the year.
This range is grown for foliage first. Bold leaves, striking form, and colour that doesn’t depend on a flowering season. Aroids, cordylines, calatheas and others chosen for how they look year-round.
Most prefer bright light without harsh afternoon sun. Filtered light under taller trees suits them, which is how they grow in the wild.
Use them in layers. Tropical foliage plants fill the middle and lower storeys of a garden, under palms and flowering trees, where they do the real work of making a space feel green and enclosed.
We grow these in the Wet Tropics, in the humidity they want. They arrive established and ready to plant.

Colocasia White Lave is a CLUMPING elephant ear created in Hawaii. It has dark stems and as it matures develops a white center that is striking. Like all colocasias it is a heavy feeder and prefers rich very moist soil and high humidity. It can be grown in ponds or along boggy edges. In cold climates, the tubers can be harvested and stored for winter to be replanted in spring. .
