Today's video is a look at my tropical style summer garden display in my jungle clearing area. With the gargantuan Gunnera x cryptica (manicata) dominating the space and Trachycarpus palms, bamboo and tree ferns all combining to create a lush, green & shaded oasis, it's time to add some more vibrant summer colours with these zingy tropical plant filler ideas. Simple but hopefully effective, I've gone back to basics and really focused on creating a mix of bedding plants, stunning exotics and shade loving foliage plants that'll bring colour, flowers and a rich tapestry of foliage to my garden this summer, when it eventually arrives...
