This is an example of the mid-century modern landscape I am trying to create. Unfortunately this is not going to happen in my zone. I know that there is New Zealand Flax, Bananas and Bird of Paradise in this photo. The Flax may be difficult but is possible here I think. If I use Musa basjoo banana I am fine with hardiness as long as a properly mulch during cold. The Bird of paradise I realize will be brought inside during the winter or cold. I would like and ideas as to what any of the other plants could be and if they would be hardy here- probably won't be, this photo is of a SOCAL home. I am going to use the plants mentioned above and will bring in what i need to during cold. These are just highlight plants and I need to know what these other plants are or what I can substitute to get this look in my zone 6.
