Strelitzia reginae
Bird of Paradise or Crane Flower
Strelitzia reginae or Bird of Paradise is the official flower of Los Angeles. It grows in clumps that can be divided for propagation. This variety produces orange flowers multiple times per year, and when birds sit on the flower to drink nectar, the petals open up coat their feet in pollen. Cold hardy to 25°F and requiring little water, this species will thrive in full sun or partial shade.

What makes our plants so special? Our location on the cliffs of Santa Barbara receives over 280 days of sunshine a year and we utilize our indigenous soil, mixing it with a specialized amendment. Our plants are routinely watered, fertilized, and trimmed. We always aid our plants to proper health when needs arise, and we do so without the use of sprays.
