1. It totally depends on your climate zone. This web site is really useful: http://www.monrovia.com/PlantInf.nsf/PlantThumbsAv?SearchView&Query=tropical&Count=10 To narrow the list, select your cold zone from the pull-down menu in the upper-right corner of the page.
2. where do you live? here in florida, gingers are very good, as are all the llillies - canna, calla, louisiana & african. although technically not native, they are semi or full tropicals. also, plumeria (frangipangi or hawaiian lei flower) is good.
