Interior Plants

 Flowering tropical plants for your deck and patio are coming in each week now that warm weather is here to stay. These plants are not winter hardy in this area, so enjoy them while you can during the warm weather months. You’ll find all your favorites like: 

  • Mandevilla

Everyone’s favorite, Mandevilla is available in red, pink, white and yellow flowering forms. This vigorous twining vine is the classic summer tropical for a trellis, arbor or free-standing garden obelisk. Full sun is best and don’t over water.

  • Flowering Tropical Hibiscus

Nothing says hot summer days like flowering Hibiscus. We have the most delicious color selection this year including yellow and orange. Bush and single stem tree forms are available in many colors.

  • Oleander

This old-fashioned southern favorite has an interesting elongated leaf and blooms all summer long in fragrant red, pink or white forms. Remember, all parts of the plant are toxic, so do not ingest. Bush and tree forms are available.

  • Gardenia

Another southern garden classic, we can only enjoy Gardenias during the warm weather months here. But enjoy them we do. The unmistakable large fragrant white flowers bring a smile to everyone’s face.

  • Fragrant Jasmine

The selection of jasmine varies according to availability, but the selection can include Confederate Jasmine or Star Jasmine, Arabian Jasmine and Jasminum polyanthum. The sweetly fragrant blossoms are without equal.

  • Allamanda and Dipladenia

Closely related to Mandevilla, these bush or vining tropical plants expand the color range and leaf form.

Best Air-filtering Houseplants According to NASA

As part of the NASA Clean Air Study which researched ways to clean air in space stations, the following list of houseplants was compiled that eliminate significant amounts of benzene, formaldehyde and/or trichloroethylene, as well as absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen.

So enjoy your houseplants not only because they are beautiful, but they help improve our indoor environment at the same time.
