About This Botanical

Botanical name: Strelitzia nicolai (giant white bird of paradise)

Large, banana-like leaves on upright stems give a bold, tropical look. This plant likes the brightest light you can give it, such as a sunny window, and it grows large over time. Water thoroughly and let the top of the soil dry between waterings.

Shipped alive in a 4" nursery pot. See our Live Arrival Guarantee.
