- Hardy, tolerating drought, salty conditions and light frost
- Attractive upright foliage
- Eye-catchingly contrasting colours which subvert what you would expect from a bird of paradise
- Distinctly shaped flowers like bird crests
A unique variant of the tropical plant with bird-like blooms and large oar-shaped foliage, all on extra-tall, thick, upright stems. Petals are white on black, dark grey or dark green spathes, creating a dramatic contrast. Great for landscaping, mass-planting, creating height and difficult spots in the garden. Plant in full sun to part shade.
