Here is a pic of the cactus garden outside in Atlanta Botanical gardens. A lot of the stong growers for them will survive up here if in a really well drained spot. Usually with cactus and succulents being drier is more important than the cold. Also with a hardy tropical landscape it does not take a lot to make a tropical to jungle effect. You can do a lot with Musa basjoo, canna ,and a few hardy colocasias.
