DESCRIPTION

Heliconias are fast, vigorous growers in outdoor landscapes in tropical zones like Hawaii, southern Florida, and Costa Rica. They are often grown as houseplants in other regions. These plants have large, banana-like leaves around thick, sturdy stems. The flower stems form extremely colorful waxy leaves, from which colorful upright or pendulous flower groups emerge, closely resembling birds of paradise plants.

When grown as houseplants, give the brightest indirect light you can. Heliconia need plenty of light and warmth to make flowers. All species of Heliconia require ample and continuous water to thrive but with good drainage. Proper watering is the most critical element of growing these plants successfully.

Subject to availability: comes either with or without flower.
