Our UK tropical garden has recently enjoyed the addition of a small tropical paradise patio. This is a very small garden space where we are growing the majority of our tropical style plants in pots and large containers. By cleverly combining pots to create a layered jungle display we have been able to create the illusion of a tropical garden growing in the UK. If you are look for garden ideas or tropical garden inspiration then there are lots of garden tips that can help you in this video. We share tips on how to grow tropical plants in pots to keep them lush and healthy. Combining lush green leaves and bold exotic flowers has helped us maximise the available space and enables us to build a really healthy looking garden that we are happy to spend hours relaxing in.

It’s all looking fantastic & inspiring. Your wife’s roses really give it some extra flare. I love how cottage garden plants can be fitting in a tropical garden. All you need is a bit of creativity and flare. It’s wonderful. I must join the seed club too, it sounds like something me and my partner would enjoy.

Thank you, we're really pleased with how it's coming along. The Seed Club is great fun, I've just been getting next months seeds ready for all our members :D

I luv the fence colors

@FernsAndForest 21 день назад

The paint color is similar to the aubergine/eggplant color we used for doors and trim. Really happy with it. You are a wise man to collaborate with your wife on plant choices. I appreciate that you work within your budget as it allows for creativity. Thanks for a fab tour!

Yes, two heads are better than one! Thanks for watching :D

@samiecain1244 22 дня назад

I would never choose that colour, but WOW! It really does look fab :) It really brings out the green. Loving the patio , I am so glad you listened to your wife, the roses really look lovely .

Matching colours was a great choice, calmer. Perhaps I'll paint my fence dark next year as well :) Probably a very dark green

@GrowParadise 9 дней назад

Sounds lovely, go for it. Thanks for watching.

looks better than my yard and i live in Florida , Great job. Dark colors are great for the outside because once the sun is out it lightens up a bit and shifts hue throughout the day i used a dark Teal color for the shed. those fuchsias and cigar plants or cupheas the orange ones should do really good they love cool weather. I lose all my fuchsias come March after it gets into the 80s and high humidity. that Mexican cigar may do great in a planter as well it gets 3ft by 3ft does well down to about low 40s if you want it as a stand alone and don't want to lose it come winter. my issue here is the high humidity come summer and the high 90s

@GrowParadise 9 дней назад

Wow! Very kind of you, thanks. Yes you're gardens summer conditions sound very difficult, what grows best?

Justicia carnea is a medicinal plant used in Nigeria to treat respiratory tract issues and also has blood-boosting properties. So lovely to see it growing in your garden as an ornamental plant.

@GrowParadise 9 дней назад

Wow, I had no idea! Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Really love that Mexican cigar plant Craig. First time I’ve seen them. Thanks for your video and the ideas.

@GrowParadise 9 дней назад

No worries, thanks for watching!

@jimmyalvinewart6361 22 дня назад

Hi Craig. You have inspired me to work on my patio area also. My wife also fought very hard to keep her cottage plants. I agree it looks good when mixed with tropical plants

@GrowParadise 9 дней назад

Working together always gets the best results :D

@Michael-ln7us 22 дня назад

Looks amazing, it will fill out so much and look so lush. I moved from England to Australia some years ago which has allowed me to grow so much more especially tropical plants and fruits. Brugmansia is my favourite the smell on an evening is incredible. Happy gardening 😄

I bet you're loving the warmer climate over there! Thanks for watching

Although I loathe every shade of purple, I think in this garden it looks absolutely fabulous! One think I would not do is pressure wash any kind of concrete slab/tiles. In my opinion aged concrete looks infinitely better than “brand new” (or newly washed) concrete. Other than that, I think your garden is just beautiful!❤

@GrowParadise 9 дней назад

Thanks for your kind words. Yes, concrete slabs aren't the most appealing but they were getting quite slippery in wet winters so the wash was inevitable :D

@TropicalDanUK 22 дня назад

I was in B&Q the other day and walked past the Damson paint, I thought 'oh hi Craig' haha. How well do your raised beds drain? I assume you amended the clay a lot. I think you're absolutely right about having robust plants that thrive in UK weather - I've planted a hybrid tea rose called Piccadilly and it's a very tropical swirl of bright orange and yellow. Fits in great.

@GrowParadise 9 дней назад

This made us laugh! It is a great colour :D Your 'Picadilly' rose sounds lovely.

@timfinnegan1786 22 дня назад

Are you going to be making a video about what really happened to the snail after your video ended? Where is the snail now? Do snails fly well? Does your neighbour have an extra snail? All these questions are eating me up.

@GrowParadise 9 дней назад

Haha, it stayed right where it was. We welcome the snails as we've got plenty of wildlife to keep things in balance. The snails do a great job of breaking down decaying leaves at ground level too.

@paulineellison9047 22 дня назад

thank you for this... it helps me put together a few pot plants round my pond as it all slabbing round it so need to soften it up a lot and make it look warmer have u got a list of the flowering plants thanks

@GrowParadise 9 дней назад

Hi, I don't have a list of flowering plants but it's a great idea for a future video :D

@daphneking3954 22 дня назад

The purple colour looks amazing. Like you I’m in clay medium heavy I think! I’m thinking I need about 4 inches of soil compost on top? Trying to guess how high your new border edge is!

@GrowParadise 9 дней назад

Hi, the new raised bed is only 2 inches.

@rraqua1279 12 дней назад

I know you're doing business but £10 for a little colocasia is outrageous

@GrowParadise 9 дней назад

Thank you for your feedback, we have to cover very expensive import costs for any stock that hasn't been homegrown. Many of our plug plants are unavailable from other sellers in the UK, we put a lot of effort into sourcing exciting new plants for our supportive customer base. We hope you enjoyed this video.

@russellmalbon409 8 дней назад

have you got any cuttings or sale off the brugmansia.

@Thumtwiddler 15 дней назад

Hi there, lovely garden. I was just wondering, I have one of those water basin's too but mine has gone rusty orange. Have you treated yours with something? Or is it just new? Thanks

@GrowParadise 9 дней назад

Hi, ours has been in the garden for several years now. The one we have is supposed to rust as it creates a nice patina.

@phedrob3735 22 дня назад

Hello Craig. Two years ago a Black Mondo Grass suddenly sprouted from under an area covered in slate chippings. No idea where it came from. It's coming into flower which should result in it's berries. I wondered if you'd like me to send you some of the berries.

@GrowParadise 9 дней назад

Thank you so much for the offer, I'm lucky to have lots of that plant already so please don't worry about sending the berries.

@phedrob3735 9 дней назад

@@GrowParadise No worries Craig, thanks for taking the time to get back to me. I was racking my brains trying to remember if you'd mentioned it in any of your videos. I'll be potting the berries up and distributing the plants to friends and neighbours
