The vibrant red and yellow hanging flowers make this the most popular grown Heliconia in Southern Queensland. The amazing long lasting flowers that will last from late November until May are a must for the tropical garden.
Shade to full sun.
Dimensions: vary depending on the amount of light. From 1.3m in hard sunny spots to 3m if they are in shade and searching for light.
Flowers: are remarkable red centres with yellow edges hanging down more than 600mm. They have been imitated with fake plants but nothing can surpass the real thing growing in the garden.
Foliage: long spatulate leaves that cluster up from the ground and form a mass of soft lush green.
Uses: as limited as your imagination, as a screen, feature plant, used as filler, under trees and excellent for narrow confined areas that are protected from strong winds, like light wells.
