Terrific tropicals are also good plant companions in colder climates—in greenhouses and in flower arrangements, on windowsills, in containers, and in the landscape. Grow some as annuals, winter others indoors. You’ll find hundreds of tropical inspirations at Hawaii: Islands of Aloha, March 4-11, 2012.
