The very highly prized Heliconia Psittacorum is one of the most beautiful of them all. Parrot Heliconia as it is more commonly known due to the totally unique inflorescent of greenish-yellow flowers with black spots and red bracts reminding of the bright plumage of a parrot is without doubt a true show stopper of a plant. An absolute must have for any flower admirer and the foliage is not bad either.
Likes rich soil and helpings of fertilizer in the spring and summer months. Can handle full sun or diffused light.
