Very-new to gardening but got the bug and wife has seen this (see pic ) dont know what its called and can it grow in the north of England all help much appreciated
Saw an abandoned house in Broken Hill, New South Wales where the garden was full of these in full bloom so definitely not one for outdoors anywhere in the UK let alone the north. There's one in a conservatory down the road here though

If you've got a heated conservatory or greenhouse,go for it! Bird of paradise plant.
Ours stays in the house, bloomed for the first time this year, grown from a seed sown about 3 or 4 years ago. Cant quite remember now.
It looks like a Strelitzier (sorry about the spelling)
won't survive outside especially in the north of the country, heated greenhouse or conservertory and put outside in the summer.

They do grow out of doors in the west country - but not up here that's for sure. Nice as an indoor statement though.
