Bird of Paradise Strelitzia reginae 10 Seeds

Strelitzia reginae, commonly known as the bird of paradise, is an evergreen perennial native to South Africa, celebrated for its exotic, birdlike blooms and bold architectural foliage. Forming clumps 1–2 meters tall, it features broad, leathery, banana-like leaves on sturdy petioles that create a lush, tropical look year-round. Its spectacular flowers emerge from a horizontal, beak-shaped bract—deep green with a red edge—unfurling vivid orange and blue petals that resemble a bird in flight, and are pollinated in nature by sunbirds perching on the bract. Favoring full sun, well-drained soils, and mild climates, this long-lived ornamental thrives in coastal and subtropical landscapes or as a dramatic container plant, delivering vibrant color and sculptural beauty to gardens and indoor spaces alike.
