Bird of Paradise are native to South Africa, and are very hardy and can be grown in full sun to part shade. They get their name from their exotic flowers that resemble the head of a colourful tropical bird. Bird of Paradise have large, lush foliage and look great when used in rockeries and interplanted with yuccas and agaves.
Bird of Paradise flowers in spring and summer and prefers well-drained soils. During the first year, it should be watered regularly and fertilised every six months until established. They look great planted in pots or garden beds and create a lush, tropical feel in your garden.
