We had our pool built last year and because of delays it didn’t finish up until Sept so didn’t want to do any landscaping then. I live in NJ and want a tropical kind of look but I know a lot of these plants will die in the winter. Just curious if anyone in the colder areas treats their pool plants as annuals and just replant them every year. There are some perennial bushes that we like that would fit but just thinking about using some different palms around it too but they’ll die in the winter; mainly around the waterfall area.
