Description:
Heliconia is a genus of 200-300 species of large perennial herbs, mostly from
Central and South America but with a few species native to the South Pacific
(west to New Guinea). There are also many hybrids and cultivars. Some are only
3-4 ft high, others 20 ft tall or more. Leaves are medium-sized to large (up
to 10 ft long in some species). Heliconias are closely related to both bananas
and bird-of-paradise plants. Many Heliconia species have colorful stalks of
bracts and flowers (red, orange, yellow, purple, pink). Heliconias are said to
epitomize plants with a "tropical look." Both luxury hotels and Hawaiiaan
residents use Heliconias to decorate for special occasions.
