Why do we love Ground Orchids? A Top Tropicals Garden Blog post.

Ground Orchids

❔ Why do we love Ground Orchids?

❓ Q: I need your expert advice on a low growing perennial with pretty flowers that I can plant in semi-shade close to my house. What is your favorite perennial?

😊 A: Our most favorite bright flowering perennials are ground orchids!
  • 💋 Ground orchids are the easiest and most rewarding flowers for a tropical garden. They thrive in regular garden soil or potting mix, tolerate both sun and shade, and bloom nearly year-round.
  • 💋 Their adaptability makes them a perfect choice for any spot in the garden, whether you need to fill a sunny patch or a shaded area under trees.
  • 💋 And look at these colors! From vibrant purples to soft pinks and yellows, ground orchids bring a splash of tropical beauty with minimal effort. Their consistent blooming makes them a must-have for gardeners seeking color all year.
  • 💋 For profuse blooming, apply Sunshine Orchidasm - Orchid TotalFeed Booster.

🍷 Do you like guava juice? It’s packed with flavor!

  • 🍉 Did you know you could enjoy fresh guava juice from your own tree?

    • It’s as easy as 1-2-3! All you have to do is plant your own guava tree.

  • 🍉 The 1-3 gal plant will start fruiting for you in no time. And you can expect a large crop in just a couple of seasons.

  • 🍉 Guava trees thrive in mild climates with frost-free winters, but can tolerate light frost once established. And if you live in a colder climate - no worries. Guava is the perfect container fruit tree. You can bring it inside during cold nights and still enjoy fresh fruit every year.

  • 🍉 Just don't forget to water - guavas are heavy drinkers.
