It depends on your garden zone. For example I live in the U.S., Midwest, Zone 5. Every year I move my tropicals outdoors when the temperature reaches 70 degrees fahrenheit. These include begonias, hoya, wandering Jew, philodendron, clivia, certain types of elephant ears, tropical waterlilies, tropical hibiscus and others. Some require shade and others can take full sun. You are going to have to do a little research to find out what kind of plants do well in your area. I suggest talking to your local nursery.

just make a drive in area to park your cars like a half circle with both an entrance and an exit to the street. it's a lot less maintenance

Definitely need to know your zone before you choose. Faith gave you a lot of good ideas. If you want shrubs, azaleas and rhododendrons are good, if perennials, hostas or ferns. Good luck!

Ferns - there are many different species. Alocasia's - elephants ears. Chameadora?. elegans - parlour palm. Peace Lillie's, black mondo grass, alternanthera maroon - ground cover.

where are you? Check zone before you put something in the ground.
