I would definately go with brugs, gingers, hibiscus, daylilies, and especially elephant ears. I have xanthasoma against my privacy fence and they are over 7 feet tall. I also have grapevines and passiflowers growing on the fence. I have lots of hibiscus, both hardy and tropical everywhere. I have over 39 banana trees growing along the fence, surrounding the pond, and against the house. I have a few yuccas, aloes, here and there. We can grow so much here. Before you know it, you will have a tropical paradise and you will love it. Oh yeah, I almost forgot the canna. Gotta have that. Here is a pic of my elephant ears. Taller than my 6 foot high privacy fence.
