Zone 10b planting calendar

Plant when the rain comes

In Southwest Florida the summer rainy season is the easiest time to get tropicals established. Roots grow fast, and the sky does most of the watering.

Dry season Rainy season Best planting window Plant and water regularly; cover bananas on cold nights

How we grow

Raised in the same sun and rain your yard gets

ROOT

Rooted under mist

Cuttings root in a misting propagation bench, then move into fabric grow bags or nursery pots with a fast-draining bark mix.

GROW

Grown on under shade

Plants size up on raised benches with drip irrigation. We scout for pests every week and treat with the gentlest option that works.

HARDEN

Hardened to full sun

Before sale, plants spend weeks in full sun, so they don't scorch the day you plant them.
