Strelitzia reginae

Strelitzia reginae: Characteristics and Care

The Strelitzia reginae, popularly known as bird of paradise, is a perennial plant native to South Africa that stands out for its leathery, paddle-shaped leaves and its spectacular orange and blue bird-head-shaped flowers, highly valued in landscaping and as a cut flower.

Its exotic flowering and compact clumping habit make it a highly decorative option for flowerbeds, planters, and Mediterranean gardens.

It tolerates moderate drought well once established and adapts to different soil types, provided it has good drainage.

At Ornacom we cultivate each specimen directly, guaranteeing a balanced size and vigorous development from the first years of planting.
