Bird of Paradise (Strelitzia reginae)

Strelitzia reginae, the Bird of Paradise, is one of the most strikingly exotic and spectacular flowering plants in existence. Its bold, architectural, paddle-shaped, blue-green leaves and uniquely sculptural, crane-like flowers in brilliant orange and vivid electric blue are immediately unmistakable and endlessly captivating. It is a slow-growing, long-lived perennial that flowers reliably for decades once established. An iconic choice for bold tropical borders, large containers, cutting gardens, and architectural indoor display in bright spaces. Its flowers are a centrepiece of luxury floristry worldwide and a universally admired symbol of tropical beauty.
