Description
Strelitzia reginae is one the most popular horticultural perennials around the world. This evergreen perennial forms a clump of large, broadly oval, long-stalked, gray-green leaves arising from an underground stem (rhizome). They contrast nicely with its beautiful crested flowers. Emerging from a horizontal green and pink beak-like spathe, brilliant orange and vivid blue flowers bloom in succession, resembling the crest on a bird’s head. Individual flowers last for about a week, but the spathe holds 5 to 7 flowers, guaranteeing a long-lasting display.
Environment
The bird of paradise is a low-maintenance plant that can thrive in a variety of growing conditions. Bird of paradise thrives in warm, tropical climates. It can be grown outdoors in a frost-free location with protection from strong winds.
Bird of paradise prefers full sun to partial shade. In hot, direct sun, it may benefit from some afternoon. Use a balanced fertilizer once a month during the growing season (spring and summer) to promote healthy growth and flowering
Landscape Use
It is perfect for poolside plantings, garden borders, along walkways, patio containers, or as a houseplant.
