Bird of Paradise is a popular, virtually problem-free perennial for container or landscape growing. The white variety grows to spectacular heights (15 to 20 feet) and grows magnificent white blooms. Its long-lasting flowers bloom over an extended period. Bird of Paradise is a member of the banana family (Musaceae) and comes from South Africa.
Bird of Paradise culture is similar to that of Traveler's Trees. For the first year or so, grow your Bird of Paradise in a pot away from full sun. After it grows larger, plant it in its final position in full sun, part sun, or light shade. Protect it from freezing and frost.
