Picture a crown of banana-like leaves atop a palm tree trunk, combine with huge, uniquely beautiful flowers, and then what you have is the exotically named bird of paradise tree. Related to the common bird of paradise flower (Strelitzia regina), this close cousin is a much larger plant forming huge clumps of stems to 30 feet in comparison to S. regina's 3 to 4 feet height. The White Bird of Paradise is hardy in zones 10 & 11. In cooler regions it can be grown as a houseplant and moved outside during the summer.

Proper name: Strelitzia nicola
