What you buy will depend on what space you have, and what nurseries sell. All Strelitzias grow large with age and have incredibly tough root systems, which makes them very difficult to move if you plant the 'wrong' one for the space you have available.
Strelitzia nicholii grows almost as a tree with tall trunks to 4m or so. It has blue and white flowers. Strelitzia reginae is the other species widely grown. There may be other sp. but I don't know them. S. reginae is a large evergreen 'perennial' type plant. It has orange and purple-blue flowers. There are at least three distinct foliage variations: one has large paddle shaped leaf blades, one has much smaller spoon-like leaf blades, and one has no leaf blades at all. Any one of these will take up a significant amount of space after 5-10 yrs growth. In my experience the crowns of plants can easily grow to 3-4 m across, and with the leaf span included up to 6-7m depending on how much the gardener chooses to let the leaves spread.
