The bird of paradise is a tropical plant that thrives in warm regions that stay above 40 degrees F. Bird of paradise needs full sunlight and seems to prefer being somewhat pot-bound in a container. Nurture your bird of paradise throughout the warm months and then, when the weather cools below 50 degrees F, you can move the container to a warmer location. With careful tending, the bird of paradise will reward you with striking blooms.
It can grow as high as 5 feet and in some cases even higher. The blooms are long lasting appearing in threes in each stalk.
Bird of Paradise does not like frost, it does not like water soaked roots, it tolerates drought and it likes heat and light. The ideal outdoor temperature for a Bird of Paradise is found in U.S. zones 8, 9 and 10. It will also grow in zone 7 but more care is needed. It is a tropical to sub-tropical plant.
So if you live anywhere were its cooler then Zone 7 they would have to be brought in for the winter.

What's that ol' song? May a bird of paradise fly up your nose? :O) I have a few bird of paradise plants and they're quite hardy. Mine have grown to five feet tall. You can thin them out. Once they're established, they'll take a beating and are drought tollerant but, don't take extreme cold as like snow. Good auction.

isn't it true that it takes 12 years for the bird of paradise to mature and bloom? Just wondering, always been one of my favorite plants, never owned one because of the bloom time, do you know if this is true? I would love to have one in my home!!
