Inspiring Plants was started as a place to write about beautiful and hardy plants that will thrive in our UK climate. It’s not always easy to find a tropical plant that can cope with a frost or two during our winters.
But there are plenty of plants now easy to get from the mountains of China, South America, that have that exotic plant look and yet are tolerant to cold night and frosty winters up in the highlands of the country they are native to.
