Short answer is probably none, as most genuine tropical plants will die in our winter, but...................... There are plenty of tropical 'looking' plants that can grow in the UK. A few that come to mind are: Trachycarpus fortunei Most Bamboos... Clematis armandii Fatshedera lizei Trachelospermum jasminoides Cordyline australis (can get hit in very cold years, but worth a try) Ficus carica Acanthus mollis Fatsia japonica Phormium tenax All of the above will give you a very 'tropical looking' garden....without having to protect them in the winter. A couple of books worth browsing for ideas: Architectural Plants - Christine Shaw Exotic Plants - Will Giles Big Leaves for Exotic Effect - Stephen Griffith Hope this helps ;-)
