Description
Heliconias are one of the main families of tropical flowers that we grow. These durable exotic flowers are known throughout the world for their beauty. If taken care of properly certain cut heliconia flowers can stay beautiful and look fresh for up to a month! Originally the heliconia family came from the American Tropics. Over 89 species are recognized, all of which are placed in the single family of Heliconia. There are more than 350 varieties of heliconia all in all, of which about 98 percent are native to tropical America. Heliconia plant sizes vary between 1 1/2-foot dwarfs to 30-foot tree-sized giants. Things grow quickly here in Hawaii and if left unattended jungle patches of Heliconia can grow dense and unpenetrable. Most noticeable are the flower’s bright colors which come in a wide range of hues and combinations from reds, oranges, and whites to greens, yellows and pinks.
