Giant Bird of Paradise

Giant Bird of Paradise is one of the most dramatic tropical plants that thrive in desert climates. Huge leaves can reach 15' across and 48' long on even longer stems. Upright growth pattern makes it a good long-term choice for large areas with afternoon shade. Use Giant Birds in raised planters and pots as a specimen or in combination with other smaller tropicals for lush mixed collections. Plant in shade or morning sun with well-prepared garden soil. Water deeply and regularly during warmer months.
