AI summary
Create your own tropical garden paradise with a simple layered planting plan. Use feature plants like Pohutukawa for height, filler plants like Hibiscus for bulk, and spiller plants like Star Jasmine for ground cover.
These gardens thrive in warmer, frost-free areas from Tauranga north but can work in Nelson with extra care. They require regular watering, mulching, and feeding to stay lush. Complete the look with water features, lighting, and tropical-themed decor.
