A very beautiful Heliconia native to South America. When fully mature can reach a height of around 8ft but reaches flowering size much sooner at around 4ft. Likes rich soil and with regular applications of fertilizer during the spring and summer months. Make sure you keep this one well watered during hot periods. Likes medium shade but can handle full sun.
As with all Heliconia these are easy to manage and grow from seed...just give them what they need and they will flourish and are very rewarding.
