Currently 45cm high - Incredibly fast growing in the right position, perfect for a quick screen! Tall, striking foliage plant. It is evergreen, with multiple stems that form a dense clump. Very hardy with large dramatic leaves for a true tropical effect. Huge flowers resemble birds heads like the smaller Bird of Paradise and can be used as a cut flower. Flowers appear within a year in the right conditions and continue to flower for most of the year. Their strong root systems are best kept away from buildings.;
