Strelitzia nicolai 'White bird of paradise'

A relative of the banana plant, the Bird of paradise is stunning with its large, glossy green leaves and blooms in the shape of cranes, which is how it gets its name. This plant is unique, majestic, and brings very tropical note into any space. It's also quite hardy and will tolerate many light conditions, but does best in bright filtered light. Bring it home and enjoy its graceful arcing stems and broad green leaves.
