FREE: Giant Bird of Paradise (Tropical)

The listing, Giant Bird of Paradise (Tropical) has ended.

Strelitzia nicolai, commonly known as the Giant White Bird of Paradise or Wild Banana are banana-like plants with erect woody stems reaching a height of 6 m (20 ft) and the clumps formed can spread as far as 3.5 m (11 ft). The entire flower can be as much as 18 cm (7.1 in) high by 45 cm (18 in) long and is typically held just above the point where the leaf fan emerges from the stem. Flowers are followed by triangular seed capsules. Strelitzia nicolai prefers rich, moist soils with good drainage in full sun to part shade. The plant tolerates light frost. Propagation is via division of clumps, offsets and from seed but note that plants require many years of growth before they begin blooming.[6] In favorable conditions they self-seed freely, and their invasive root systems are best kept away from buildings. Winner will receive 4 seeds. Nick the seed and soak in water for 24 hours before planting.
