Flower Growing

Question

I live in Zone 6 in the U. S.   I wanted to know if the bird of paradise flower can grow where I live.  I also want to know if they are annuals or perennials.

Answer 1

It is not hardy to your zone, but you can grow it in a container and overwinter it in your house every year to keep it alive. It is a perennial as long as it gets protection from the cold.
