Product Description
Orange bird of paradise flowers have always been the standard, but we're proud to carry the first-ever stable yellow variety: Mandela's Gold Bird of Paradise. With a stem height of 4-5' and large, banana-like leaves, this striking flower rises above other perennials like the bird it's named for (and resembles). This tropical wonder will grow in many types of soil, and once it's established, requires very little water. To further its easy care, it's both heat and drought tolerant. Plant in full sun or partial shade, and be sure to keep it out of the path of strong winds. It can be grown indoors year-round or moved indoors in cold winter climates. Strelitizia reginae 'Mandela's Gold'
