“It’s mostly based on light. That’s the main concern,” he says. “And generally, you don’t want annuals or tropicals to dry out. You don’t want the soil to be wet, but you want it to be moist and never dry.” He recommends repotting houseplants in outdoor containers and then repotting them to come back in the house at the end of the season. Before tropicals come in after their summer vacation, they should be treated with an organic insecticidal soap to reduce the number of bugs that often come with the plants.
Ewing suggests these tropical plants, available at most garden centres during planting season, as focal points for outdoor containers.Flashy and flamboyant, canna lilies are perennials that are tropical in nature with paddle-shaped leaves and exotic flowers. They do well in sun or partial shade and come in many varieties and colours. Best for large containers as they can quadruple in size over the growing season, reaching three or four feet in size.
