Bird of Paradise

Crane-like orange blooms in spring; split it when it clumps.

Type: Ornamental

Sun / water: Full sun / water weekly

When I plant it: I split the giant Bird of Paradise two years ago, and it is becoming established.

What I’ve seen

Spectacular orange blooms that resemble a crane, in the spring. The roots are like tubers when dug up to split. When established for a long time, it can become quite clumped. Much like a banana tree, Bird of Paradise does not have a woody stalk and has a high moisture content.

How I use it

Ornamental.
