The Bird of Paradise is an unmistakable South African icon, admired for its bold, tropical foliage and brilliant orange-and-blue flowers. A focal plant in any landscape, it provides year-round greenery and dramatic colour when in bloom mainly during May to December.
Best grown in full sun to light shade, Strelitzia reginae is hardy, low-maintenance, and waterwise once established. Its architectural leaves make it equally striking in modern gardens, containers, or as a feature near a pool or patio.
This indigenous beauty is a wind-resistant plant and suitable for coastal gardens.
Provided with lots of bright light with some direct sun, they can be successfully grown indoors.
Feed with compost in early spring before new growth begins and then fertilize during the growing season.
