What Palms and other hardy tropical plants do you all think would look good in front of my house.

Musa Basjoo, Musa Sikkimensis (Hardy Bananas), The sabal's minor and major(palms) , Rhapidophyllum hysterix (needlepalm) Trachycarpus fortunei(palm) - Check the Palm forums and banana forums as mostly they are discussing hardy specimens. Many people plant Elephant ears (Alocasias & Colocasias) for huge foliage effect but the tubers must be removed and stored after the first hard frost - Canna's the same tropical foliage and flowers but tubers must be removed after hard frost and stored

cheers
