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.
