Native to the tropical Americas and West Indies, Mexican Bird of Paradise forms a rounded mound of feathery foliage with scarlet orange blooms throughout summer. Thriving in hot weather and drought tolerant once established, it will remain evergreen in warm winters but often freezes back in cold weather. Removal of old branches during dormancy will encourage strong new growth and prolific flowering.
