    Ryan, have a look at Cooltropicalplants.com. A great website for ideas and written in  a very witty way.

    I've just germinated about 50 canna warszewiczii.

    Devon.

    I got some lovely looking ginger in Sainsburys last week with budding eyes,which I am potting up, and have put some lemongrass in water to root.

  • Not sure if you'd class it as exotic but I'm trying to grow black bamboo from seed. Not sure how successful I'll be as by many accounts, growing bamboo from seed can be very hit or miss.

    I grow hedychium and cannas and brugmansias. The hedychium I originally grew from seed. I have banana seeds in a heated propagator, but no signs of life yet.

    Not sure if this would be classed exotic either, but I put in some Venus Flytrap seeds at the weekend. I don't really think of North Carolina as exotic, but it is sub-tropical. image

    Dahlias, Cannas, non hardy Salvias, Cleome and various other tender annuals and perennials.
