Small garden bursting with tropical flowers in the UK

Tour our small tropical style garden as it bursts with exotic blooms in mid-August. We are growing tropical plants from South America, Madagascar, India, China and many other wonderful locations around the world. This rich tapestry of plants has helped us create a magical small garden space that gifts successive blooms throughout the year. In August the buzz of pollinating insects that must be as excited about the flowers as we are helps to bring the small garden space alive. Many of the tropical garden flowers are releasing incredible scents, transporting us to far away locations in tropical parts of the world. Star Jasmine and Angel Trumpets combine into an intoxicating fragrance at this time of the year, especially in the evening golden hour as we watch the sun setting over our small garden space. The swaying bell-flowers of South American Abutilons, a close Hibiscus relative, bring splashes of colour to every corner of our garden.

Many of these flowering plants are growing in pots, helping to create a display that is easily replicated in gardens or balconies around the world. If you are looking for small garden ideas or inspiration I hope this video helps you out.

Such beautiful garden and landscape is amazing.

Watching this in very drizzly, wintery Tasmania, with dreams of our spring and summer coming.

Thank you for brightening up my day with those blooms I get to look forward to.

What I did want to mention, (if you can get it over there, ) is a delightful climber I am currently enjoying the winter flowers of is my Hardenbergia violacea. It's incredibly hardy (it's handled minus 6) the foliage is glossy and beautiful and of course, gives me winter interest.
Something to look out for.

Thank you again for the video.

Thanks for the tour. This is the first I've seen of your videos, and I love what you're doing, an adventurous collection of exotics. Your Brassaiopsis mitis seems very related to Trevesia palmata; both are very uncommon even in botanical gardens I find.

One more, gotta feed the algorithm.. That Moscheutos cultivar you've got there is stunning!! Put it on my wishlist for next year, I'll have to search/ask around if anyone has something like that here in The Netherlands

I love your garden!!! Such a fun mix of plants and flowers! ❤

I do want to give out a warning for one of the plants you showed, the poke weed, it’s perennial and can overtake an area pretty quickly here is NC, USA and I’m one zone colder than you are.
I’ve dug out roots from pokeweed that were thick as my arm. I dug out about 3 big trash bags full of it!
So be careful with it. Don’t let the birds get to those seeds as they will spread them around everywhere. 😢
Personally I don’t think pokeweed is a good plant to grow at all. Those berries also stain things when the birds poop them out or when they just fall and crush on the ground.
Ok enough of the bad things about that plant. 😂
Your garden is lovely with everything else you have!

Pretty Geranium blooms, I've got a species with red leaves that has about the same colours of flower. But it blooms for a much shorter time. My other Geraniums bloom with smaller flowers but keeps going all season like yours does. Preferable for the bugs :) Those 3 more common ones I have are here to stay in my garden! Here in my village they have what I think is the same species as you, they also keep going. Great value and really important to check length of blooms before buying any plant, some look good on the pictures but disappoint in real life haha
