These flowers conjure up the image of its common name, bird of paradise. The leaves are large and oblong to lance-shaped, similar to the leaves of a banana plant. Plants can be brought out onto the patio in summer in very warm, sheltered areas.The Royal Horticultural Society has given it its prestigious Award of Garden Merit (AGM).
