RARE Strelitzia parvifolia var. juncea – Reed or Leafless Bird of Paradise
PLEASE NOTE: Once they fully mature they will just be a reed type stem with no leaf. (Seeds were pollinated in Te Puke, Bay of Plenty)
Strelitzia Juncea, also known as the Leafless Bird of Paradise, is a stunning choice for dry garden landscaping and adds a dramatic touch to tropical gardens with its striking blue, upright, rush-like foliage and spectacular flowers in both spring and autumn.
Unlike its relative, Strelitzia Reginae, Strelitzia Juncea is less prone to wind damage due to its lack of paddle leaves, which reduces wind resistance.
This plant looks fantastic when planted en masse in mid-level garden positions, reaching an eventual height of about 1.5 meters.

The Red Pineapple (Ananas bracteatus)
The Red Pineapple (Ananas bracteatus), also known as the Ornamental Pineapple, is a striking and versatile tropical plant that adds a splash of vibrant color to any garden or indoor space. Known for its stunning red-hued fruit and attractive foliage, this plant is both ornamental and functional.
Key Features
- Striking Appearance: The Red Pineapple is renowned for its eye-catching red fruit, which is smaller but more colorful than the common pineapple. Its bright, reddish-pink bracts and green foliage make it a standout in any setting.
- Versatile Use: This plant can be grown both outdoors in tropical and subtropical climates and indoors as a potted plant in cooler regions.
- Easy to Grow: The Red Pineapple is a low-maintenance plant that thrives in well-drained soil and requires minimal watering once established. It's also resistant to many common pests and diseases.
- Edible and Ornamental: While primarily grown for its ornamental value, the fruit of the Red Pineapple is edible and can be enjoyed fresh, though it is often more tart than commercial pineapples.
