Saint James, MO(Zone 6b)

Here we are continuing our thread for information from those of you who CAN GROW ANY Tropical Plant in the COLDER climates with GOOD results. I would like to get a list going of what has been tried and failed/succeeded in your area, what your climates are NORMALLY like, etc...This is for those of us who want to PUSH the ZONE and have our own little PARADISE, even though we do not LIVE in PARADISE. :oP

We came from here:
