Botanical Name: Heliconia rostrataNative Region/Environment: Bolivia, Columbia, Ecuador and Peru in the margins of humid tropical forests typically along water ways. Sun/Light: Direct morning light, bright indirect, dappled light or part shade. Temperature: For an evergreen perennial 65F minimum or zone 10b-12; but as an annual rhizome over-winter or protect the rhizome above freezing. Therefore, with either good in-ground protection or an interior heated greenhouse or garage it will survive most temperate winters. Water: Consistent moisture but not standing water. Soil: Organically rich, consistently moist, well draining and not soggy. Better to permit the soil to dry than to leave in standing water to avoid root rot. Growth Pattern: The leaves emerge from a subterranean rhizome and grow alternately forming a strong false trunk from the sturdy petioles. The leaves themselves are oblong shaped 1'-4' in length and approximately 8"-12" wide. Mature Size: Fast growing, dense clumps of entangled rhizomatous roots reaching 15' in the wild, but rarely half that height in domesticated cultivation. Attributes: The unique pendant and brilliantly colored flowers which can reach lengths of over 2', are highly prized not only for their brilliant colors but also their longevity of possibly 2 months, even as a cut flower. Attractor: Abundant, long lasting nectar attracts a wide host of pollinators, insects and hummingbirds. Pot: Ships as a trimmed, bareroot rhizome. |
