At 10 metres, the natal bird of paradise flower grows quite a bit larger than the common orange bird of paradise flower in the wild and produces white flowers with a light blue petal. In the tub, this species reaches a maximum height of 3 metres, making it well suited for the patio. It is a fast grower that likes to stand in the sun with leaves that grow in a nice fan shape (as seen with the traveller's tree), especially in later life. The minimum temperature for the species is around 0 degrees Celsius.
