Create a tropical paradise with these five unique flowers.

Angel Trumpet Tree: Enormous peachy blooms dangle from this fast-growing plant in spring and summer. Does best in part shade, reaches about 10 feet tall.

Devil’s Trumpet Tree: The gothic counterpart to Angel Trumpet, these purple flowers point upward on this evergreen plant. Also prefers part shade, reaches about six feet tall.

Clerodendron Lightbulb: Long vines of flowers dangle from this perennial shrub or small tree. The unopened blooms resemble a tiny lightbulb, hence the name. Prefers part shade and temperatures above 40 degrees. It also easily spreads.

Calla Lily: Fast-growing bulbs push out sleek flowers and speckled foliage. Can take more or less sun depending on your grow zone. Comes in lots of colors and makes beautiful cut flowers.
