Strelitzia augusta

If you are looking to bring a true sense of the tropics into your home or garden, the Strelitzia augusta is the ultimate statement piece. Often called the Giant White Bird of Paradise, this is the bigger, bolder sibling to our logo plant, and it is a firm favourite here at Jungle in a Box for its sheer presence and lush, architectural beauty.

Why We Love It

• Dramatic Tropical Foliage: It features massive, paddle-shaped leaves that can transform a dull corner into a vibrant, leafy sanctuary.

• Stunning White Blooms: Unlike the orange-flowering variety, the Augusta produces magnificent, bird-like white flowers that add a touch of sophisticated exoticism.

• Instant Height and Impact: We have selected these in 8-litre pots to ensure you get a sturdy, established plant that makes an immediate impression the moment you unpack it.

• Versatile Style: Whether it is sitting in a sunny conservatory or taking centre stage on a sheltered summer patio, its upright growth and deep green colour bring a high-end, designer feel to any space.

Plant Details and Care

• Pot Size: Supplied in a generous 8-litre nursery pot.

• Position: Loves a bright, sunny spot with plenty of natural light to keep those giant leaves looking their best.

• Winter Care: As a tender exotic, this plant will need overwintering indoors or in a conservatory to protect it from the British frost.

• Watering: Prefers a regular drink during the warmer months, but be sure to let the soil drain well—it does not like sitting in water.

• Classification: A premium herbaceous specimen that offers an effortless jungle look.

This is a plant with real personality, perfect for anyone who wants to create their own slice of paradise at home
