Deep reds and purples of the Cordyline, multi colours of the Crotons, small clumping palms for screening, the unique structures of Dracenas. Various under story plantings such as Liriope stripey whites, Xanadu, Liriope evergreen giant, Strelizea (bird of paradise), Bromeliads are examples of under story tropical plantings.
