Strelitzia nicolai is a fast-growing evergreen with large, banana-like leaves that create a lush, tropical feel. In warmer climates, it produces dramatic white and blue bird-like flowers from spring to autumn. Thriving in full sun to partial shade, Strelitzia nicolai is drought-tolerant once established and prefers well-drained soil. Ideal as a feature plant, for screening, or as a bold indoor statement in large spaces. Strelitzia nicolai is native to the coastal forests and dunes of South Africa, Mozambique, and Botswana.
