One healthy rhizome section of Heliconia collinsiana – freshly cut for your order. Shipped bare root.
Beautiful large red hanging pendant bloom. Tips are frosted white and underside of foliage has attractive natural white powdering. Grows 6 to 8 feet tall. Excellent cut flower.
Heliconia collinsiana prefers bright part sun to full sun, a rich well draining soil and plenty of food in the growing season. Collinsiana tends to like a slightly drier soil. Will grow and bloom in a pot- but will ultimately need to be a 14″ or larger pot. Can be taken indoors and grown near a sunny window over the winter if need be.
We try to put as much plant material in the box as we can fit. This can include short stems with leaves, and new sprouts. Longer stems will be trimmed to fit.
Instructions for rooting and growing included.
