I’ve lived in florida for 16 years and I agree with everything OZELLO says.
Take your time…enjoy learning about Florida Friendly plants. Pay attention to the plants The Villages is using in their plantings. You know they want hardy selections.
Yes crotons are touchy and you might lose them. It’s still a plant I’ll sometimes use, for the color. I think of them the way I did of geraniums in the north. Maybe more of an annual than a perennial.
But Many years they will survive several seasons.
Remember in Florida plants want to live. Sometimes by just cutting the dead foliage all the way to the ground it will regrow.
Palm trees? Take your time and enjoy your research.
Don’t let landscapers overplant your property. It’s all going to GROW….and you’ll pay a lot to landscapers for maintenance.
