Bird of Paradise flower seed produces a very unusual flower. This seed grows into a long-lasting 4 foot plant bloom that is similar in appearance to a bird's head. The center bloomstalk is 3 feet long and the multicolored bloom is 6 to 8 inches in length. Colors include orange, copper, blue and red. The plant likes temperatures above 50 degrees F, so in most places it is better to plant in a pot and keep indoors during the winter and move outside in the summer. Just do it slowly and acclimate it or the plant can get sunburned.

Bird of Paradise flower seeds are slow to germinate, taking up to 8 or more weeks to germ, and it will take 4-7 years for the plant to start blooming. When planting, soak the hard seeds for 24 hours and remove the orange tuff of hairs. Plant and inch deep in moist potting soil. Plants bloom best when pot-bound, but if you need to repot a plant it might take a couple of years or more for the plant to start blooming again.
