Strelitzia Nicolai is a native of Natal Province South Africa , from East London northwards to Eastern Cape, Kwa Zulu, Mozambique towards Zimbabwe, South Africa.
The name Nicolai is in honour of Czar Nicolas the 1st, for his third son, Grand Duke Nicolai Nicolaievich the Elder of Russia.
A crown of banana-like leaves atop a palm tree trunk, combined with
huge, uniquely beautiful flowers, is deserving of the name, "Bird
of Paradise tree." Related to the bird of paradise flower
(Strelitzia regina ), this close cousin is a much larger plant
forming huge clumps of stems to *0 feet in comparison to S.
regina's 3 to 4 feet height.
The 6 - 8' leaves are grey-green and arranged in fans atop the
trunks. Plants form clumps of several variably-sized trunks that
may grow to *8' in width under optimal conditions. The
inflorescence are composed of a dark blue bract, white sepals and
bluish-purple "tongue". The entire "bird" can be as large as 7"
high by *8" long and is typically held just above the point where
the leaf fan emerges from the trunk. Flowers are followed by
triangular seed capsules.
The foliage on this plant will typically die back in areas with a
hard frost, though the plant itself can be kept alive as far as
zone 8a with a good mulch. With additional protection, you may be
able to grow it in the ground even further north. Any time it dies
back to the ground however, the plant basically has to restart its
growth - so flowering is very unlikely this way. Only mature plants
typically flower, so you must pot the plant up if you live above
zone ***0.
