Tropicals are really tough to maintain up here. Canna and Elephant ears do well in the summer but have to come up after the first frost. I've had decent luck with the root bunches and bulbs coming back. I also have 7 cold hardy Hibiscus that that I planted last fall and were well mulched that came back this spring. I would love any suggestions of plants that people have had good luck with in a similar zone. Here ya go: http://www.palmsnorth.com/forum/index.php All the answers are here.
