Heliconias
Heliconias are remarkable plants, not only for the beauty of their flowers, but also for the fact that they are so mysterious -- so little is known about them, their cultivation and care. Anyone traveling in the tropics will marvel at these large, eye-catching plants when they are in bloom. Although these large tropical flowers are natives to only Central and South America and some islands of the South Pacific, their easy cultivation and spectacular presence have made them favorite garden subjects throughout the world. They have become increasingly popular as decorative flowers, especially in those regions where they cannot be grown in the garden.

Country of Origin: Guatemala. (Peacock flower, Tiger flower) A bulbous perennial with wildly exotic, large flowers that look like a cross between an iris and an orchid in dazzling shades of pink, red and yellow. Grow in well-drained sandy soil in full sun. May survive the winter outside in mild areas in a sunny, sheltered spot with a thick mulch. Otherwise lift and store frost-free. Each bloom lasts only one day.
