The Tropics in Atlanta!


Many are unaware that they can enjoy a Tropical Landscape of their own in metro Atlanta! While they are captivated by the tropical look of palm trees in Florida they simply may not know that there are certain palm trees that thrive in Atlanta.

Windmill Palms are extremely hardy palms that do extremely well in Atlanta. Adding multiple Windmill Palms along with Knock Out Roses, Threadleaf Cypress, a yellow evergreen shrub and colorful annual beds can transform any Atlanta landscape into a Tropical Paradise! Sabal Palms are not quite as hardy as Windmill Palms but still provide a tropical staple plant in metro Atlanta! Another palm to be considered in as an understory palm in an Atlanta tropical garden would be the Sago Palm. Not as hardy as the Windmill or Sabal Palms, the Sago Palm is a beautiful foliage palm that can withstand many of Atlanta’s winters.

The important thing is this – if you want the tropics at your home in Atlanta you can have it! If we can help with questions about Tropical Landscaping in Atlanta please feel free to call.
