I am looking for something to plant outside, something very low
maintenence. I have no experience with gardening and don't know where
to go to find the perfect plant. I want something small, tropical, and
easy. Anyone have any ideas?

If you garden in the UK, tropical plants won't be low maintenance.
Fatsia japonica will look exotic, but is impervious to cold and abuse
and needs no maintenance.

Depending on location, one of the stripey Phormiums would look good, too.
