Returns Simplified.Strelitzia reginae, the Bird of Paradise, produces large, paddle-shaped, blue-green leaves on long, stiff petioles that fan outward from a central clump, giving the plant a bold, tropical, architectural presence. Mature specimens can produce the iconic crane-shaped flowers in vivid orange and deep blue, though flowering indoors requires patience, excellent light, and a mature plant. Even without flowers, the foliage is striking and structural, making it a statement plant for a bright room.
Origins
Native to the Eastern Cape of South Africa, Strelitzia reginae grows in open clearings and along riverbanks where it receives full sun. It is pollinated by sunbirds in the wild, which perch on the stiff blue petals while feeding.
Soil and Substrate
