Unusual Tropicals and Annuals Sale
The Scott Arboretum will be having its second Unusual Annuals and Tropicals Sale on May 18-20. For many years the Scott Arboretum has showcased interesting tropicals and annuals in containers and various gardens around the campus from May to November. The tropical plants such as: Alocasia, Colocasia, and Xanthosoma (elephant ears), Canna; Ensete, Musa, and bromeliads create an effect that reminds you of the tropics.
These plants are often hard to find in garden centers, so the Arboretum has decided to offer you many of the more unusual selections we have tried over the years. We will offer limited quantities of more than 200 selections of unusual tropicals and annuals.
