Strelitzia juncea, Crane Flower Shrub Seeds - Rare Indigenous

Strelitzia juncea Seeds

Common Name: Crane Flower

This is a striking feature plant with upright needle-like leaves, growing from 1 to 2 m in height and producing large orange or yellow flowers borne on long, cylindrical scapes from autumn to spring. Strelitzia juncea does not multiply by suckering from the base of the stem, but subdivision takes place between the middle leaves of each fan. The species is slow growing and takes 3-4 years to flower. Grown under ideal conditions S. juncea is floriferous and long-lived. Although the leaves are very different, flowers resemble those of the more commonly cultivated Strelitzia reginae. Provided it is grown in a well-drained soil, S. juncea adapts well to a high rainfall but requires full sun to flower well. This species can withstand light frost. As a garden subject S. juncea is an ideal accent plant or planted to form a bold group which requires little attention. The flowers are also ideal for cutflowers.
