GENUS STRELITZIA REGINAE

8 seedsThe Bird of paradise tree is a spectacular and very colourful, tall plant.
They produce spectacular flowers of bright orange and rich blue in early summer. Exotic, bird-like blooms. GP - Greenhouse perennial. Height 90cm
This is an easy to grow, non-messy, low maintenance plant. It is grows quite quickly and is a great choice when you want tough, durable beauty for a new home landscape in warm areas. Used with care and imagination it can be a great altrernative to other large feature plants.

Strelitzias like enriched moisture-retentive soils and responds well to fertilizer - feed about once a month during the warm growing season to stimulate rapid growth. When plants attain the desired size you can withold fertilizer to slow growth and keep the plant in scale. Site it in full sun to part shade. Plant in full sun for the most flowers, in shade for fewer flowers but the best looking foliage - shifting shade is a good compromise. Water when dry but remember it does not like saturated conditions. This plant is reasonably hardy and it can handle brief periods of frost with no damage although leaf damage can occur at temperatures below -2C - unsightly, but rarely fatal. Propagation is easy from from seed but note that plants require many years of growth before they begin blooming.
