    rachycarpus wagnerianus (5 litre)
    Chamaerops humilis vulcano (3 litre)


    2 X Musa basjoo - 1Ltr
    3 X Canna 'Striata' - 3Ltr
    1 X Hedychium gardnerianu

    I'd swap the positions of the waggie and Chamaerops. Also put the Musas closer together to the left and bunch the Cannas closer on the right with the ginger between them.

    Hi Bigbore,

    Sorry I can't help, tropicals aren't owt I've had experience of, but I can't wait to see it when it's all planted up and growing, it should look stunning :)
