Hi all, I know, I know, these aren't edible. But they are beautiful and they grow great in the shady parts of your yard. These are all considered cold hardy for Heliconia. They should grow fine anywhere that doesn't get frost.
Rostrata- I have two types of this Heliconia. I have Rostrata and Dwarf Rostrata. Rostrata will grow to 6-9 feet and then produce a flower that is 1-2 feet long. Dwarf Rostrata will grow to 3-6 feet tall and then produce a flower that is about a foot long. Dwarf Rostrata is a more vigorous grower and is supposed to be more cold hardy. The one gallon size costs $40. The five gallon size costs $70.
Latispatha Orange Gyro- It grows to 5-7 feet and then sends up a beautiful orange flower. This plant looks very tropical. It does best in part to mostly shade. I have a limited number of one gallon plants. They cost $40 each.
Griggsiana "Angry Moon"- Heliconia Griggsiana "Angry Moon" is a very rare and cold hardy form of Heliconia. It grows between 3,000 and 7,200 feet elevation in a small part of Columbia and Ecuador. It likes cooler weather. It has flowered in Southern California. It grows to about twelve feet tall. The undersides of its leaves are purple to red in color. The pendant flowers grow up to five feet long! They are a beautiful red, purple and white color. This is a stunning Heliconia that should do well in Southern California. These plants grown from seed. I have two sizes. I can ship both sizes. The one gallon plants are in 9" deep pots. They cost $70 each. The two gallon plants are in 12" tall pots. They cost $100 each. I CAN SHIP THESE.
Penduloides "Perfect Darling"- This is a stunning variety of Heliconia. The bottom of the leaves are coated with with powder. The long pendulant flower is beautiful colors of yellow, orange and white. I'm not sure how cold hardy this variety is. The one gallon size costs $70 and the two gallon size costs $100. I CAN SHIP THESE.
Fire and Ice- Fire and Ice is the most cold hardy type of Heliconia. It grows and flowers very easily here in SoCal. It makes any backyard look tropical with it large banana like leaves. It grows to about 6-8 feet tall before it produces a red and yellow upright flower. I have these in 5 gallon and 7 gallon sizes. The 5 gallon size is 3-4 feet tall and costs $30. The 7 gallon size is 5-6 feet tall and costs $50.

Hi,
I was wondering if you also sold and shipped Heliconia Rhizomes, as that would be more convenient for me.
Thank You!
