I have a large shade garden under my oaks, and I grow so many different things, it's not funny! I've even grown a weeping hibiscus in the shade, and it did wonderfully well. I now have some of these, and more: For a nice tree, my surinam cherry is in almost total shade, on the northeast corner, and partially under an oak and grows well, and fruits every year. It grows into a lovely evergreen small tree. Bees love the flowers, birds love the fruit. Caricature Plant Butterfly Ginger (in a bog) Lizards Tail (in a bog) Costus Barbatus Heliconia Rostrata Globbas (yellow) Bleeding Heart clerodendrum Too many bromeliads to name Edible Ginger Coral Bean Cardamom All sorts of cacti and succulents (in pots) Philodendrons of all sorts Night blooming cereus and other epiphyllums Orchids Coleus Pine Cone Ginger and many more I can't even remember right now.

I would definitely get a few ginger. Some of the Alphina's might stay evergreen all year long under a shady tree! Butterfly gingers are very common in Hawaii, but they are also very common in the south! You cant enjoy then year-round in the south because they die back sometime around November-December, but you will see them up and growing from early March to late November which is almost 9 months out of the year! Cape Jasmine is a southern fragrance and they look fantastic climbing a brick wall. The fragrance during the spring and early summer is amazing! A fully grown plant will give the ENTIRE yard a beautiful scent! Plumerias are great potted plants to try in Savannah. Anyone who lives in Hawaii has seen them because they are everywhere! They grow into huge trees, but they can last at least a decade as a potted plant and make blooms every summer when established! I live in New York, but I have plumerias as potted plants and I always have blooms during the summer and nothing reminds me more of Hawaii! I take them in before the first freeze and keep them inside a normal room. I only water them maybe 3 or 4 times the entire time they are indoors and then I start watering them again when they go outside and it gets into the 80sF. They lose their leaves indoors, but grow them back when they go outside. Evergreen species of Plumeria will likely keep all their leaves indoors and out! You should also look into some bromeliads. If you have a nice microclimate that doesnt get frost, you can mount a few on an evergreen tree (like a Live Oak). Spanish moss and ball moss are very common (and native) bromeliads that thrive in Savannah, but they arent the kind of showy bromeliads everyone loves! I love Crinums so you should give those a try too. Palm trees are symbolic of the tropics so you should definitely add some Pindo palms, date palms, trachycarpus, sabals, washingtonas, and needle palms. If you have a shady spot you should definitely give Chamaedorea radicalis and Chamaedorea Microspadix a try. They look very tropical, but they can handle a Savannah winter with no problems! Rhapis Palms are probably too tender to grow in Savannah, but if you have a nice protected spot and maybe give it some protection, I think they should pull through also! Cannas and elephant ears are great perennials and very common and hardy in Savannah. I have heard of people getting Papayas to survive in Savannah with just some mulch and if you dont like the idea of protecting plants, then you can just regrow them every year. Just get some seeds and germinate the seeds around September. Keep them in pots indoors until the Spring and plant them in the ground. By fall, you might even see some fruit developing if you give them lots of sun and care! Citrus have a great fragrance and you get the added benefit of some delicious fruit. Lemon Trees do great and the more cold tolerant Orange Trees should have no problems either. Im not sure about Grapefruit, limes and Kumquats, but those might be okay too. Ferns make a great ground cover for shady wooded areas and they might help bring that Hawaii look a bit too. Add a water feature with some waterlilie, cannas, elephant ears, umbrella palm, and a waterfall and that will really help make you yard look tropical. Some tiki heads and tiki torches kind of give a bit of Hawaiian Culture as well. Good luck! -Alex

Lisa, The staff at Hoomaluhia Gardens told me maile is shipped in from Cook Islands or other places out of state. I don't know about the other islands, but I'm guessing they must be getting close to depleting their forests too if Oahu has to go to Cooke rather than a neighbor island for maile. (Somebody should put it into tissue culture and get it going here again.) I totally agree, and try to suggest maile cultivation to folks in the plant business. Heidi Bornhorst wrote about cultivating maile in her book, "Growing Native Hawaiian Plants", but I have had no luck contacting her.
