Strelitzia augusta Details

Strelitzia augusta, commonly known as the White Flowered Bird Of Paradise or Cape Wild Banana, is a popular plant due to its beautiful foliage and interesting flowers. This herbaceous perennial produces multiple stems that host large, fresh-green leaves. These may reach 2 m in length as it grows to 8 m tall and 4 m wide in the right environment. In the home garden it typically grows to just 2 m tall and 1.5 m wide, and even smaller when grown in a pot indoors. The white flowers are borne throughout the year once the plant reaches a mature size, but are rarely produced when grown indoors. Best results with this Bird Of Paradise are achieved when it is grown on a well-drained, sheltered site in full sun or partial shade. It is tolerant of dry periods and must be protected from frost and cold temperatures. Strelitzia augusta is commonly included in tropical plantings, planted around pools or against stark walls, used to line an entranceway, or maintained in a large container.
