If you’ve been thinking of stopping in to Exotica Tropicals- this is the week to do it!
We will be open Wed 5/28 thru Saturday 5/31 from 9:30 AM to 1:30 PM We will be closed the next week (first week of June)
The jungle is really taking off at the nursery- we’ve got Heliconia rostrata “Hanging Lobster Claw” pushing out blooms like mad!
We’ve got blooming plants in 7 gallon pots available – just plant in the ground and you’ve got an instant mature blooming clump.
We’ve also got smaller Heliconia rostata in 3 gallon pots as well.

Speaking of Heliconia, we’ve got beautiful blooming sized specimens of Heliconia ‘Pedro Ortiz’ – a hybrid cross between a pendant (hanging) bloomer and an upright. The blooms are bright purply red and emerge upright, then twist around to create a very unique exotic display. They also feature an attractive red edge to the leaves that looks fantatsic when emerging, as well as a nice red speckling to the stalks. Available in 7 gallon pots- mature size.
‘Musical Notes Plant’ Clerodendrum incisum is putting out an impressive new flowering. The curly white blooms resemble G clefs and appear on the plant regularly throughout the year. A nice shrub that can take up to full sun and a real eye catcher.

We are down to our last Rainbow Euclayptus and Japanese Fern Trees- stop by this week if you want to get yours! Japanese Fern Tree (Filicium decipiens) does very well in Brevard - a deep green lush tree that is full of leaves that resemble fern foliage. Great for shade, windblock and privacy.

We’ve also got plenty more odd and interesting goodies at the nursery- new varieties of tropical gingers are coming in all the time as well as new species of Philondendron and Anthurium.. come check out the jungle!
