Variant

The Orange Bird of Paradise, aka Strelitzia Reginae, is a captivating and iconic flowering plant native to South Africa. It is famed for its striking, crane-like orange and blue flowers that resemble a bird in flight, which is how it earned its common name. The plant features narrow, clumping green leaves that are quite a bit smaller than its relative, the White Bird of Paradise, which is a lot larger and more common. Strelitzia reginae is highly sought after for both landscapes and as an indoor plant due to its dramatic floral display and the lush, vibrant foliage it provides year-round.

What to expect

The plant comes with a default nursery pot. The nursery pot is usually 0.5" - 1" smaller than stated to fit into the same size decorative pot. Washable Paper Planter Bags are sold separately.

As with all living things, no two plants are alike. There is some natural variation in size, shape, and characteristics. We make every effort to bring you a plant that as closely as possible matches the plant as it appears on our website, in the size you have chosen, and have a good potential to happily grow in your home.
