Tropical Plants
With their flashy blooms and enchanting perfumes, tropical plants really steal the show. Many tropicals are treated as annuals, but some will gladly avoid the winter chill inside your home and continue to thrive when they go back outside in late spring. Remember that these beauties will need plenty of sunshine and water, and must be protected from temperatures in the 40-degree range.
