The term "strelitzia palm" often confuses gardeners seeking to add a sculptural, tropical vibe to their outdoor or indoor spaces in New Zealand. While commonly referred to as a "palm" because of their bold, fan-like leaves and striking vertical form, true Strelitzias are not actually palm trees. Instead, they are magnificent perennial plants belonging to the Strelitziaceae family, renowned for their resilience and dramatic foliage. Whether you're after a bird of paradise effect in your landscape or searching for an architectural feature plant, the strelitzia palm makes an impressive statement in any setting.

Strelitzia reginae (Crane Flower, Bird Of Paradise) is an iconic tropical plant known for its bold orange and blue flowers that resemble a bird in flight. This striking plant thrives in NZ conditions and adds colour, structure, and a tropical feel to gardens and containers.

Cordyline stricta, commonly known as the Slender Palm Lily, features narrow, strap like, green leaves held on upright stems which gives a very lush appearance. It typically grows to 3 m tall and spreads 2 m wide.
