Small Heliconias?

16 years ago

I am interested in small heliconia to fill an area that gets morning sun.. anyone got advice? There seem to be so many different varieties, I bought some, don't know even their names, only that they are smaller..like 4-6 feet..I think they are the common variety, some yellow, some red, maybe an orange one. Does anyone know where I can get some of the more unusual varieties at a reasonable price? Thanks.

This is a good question that I'm sure Lisa Vinzant could answer. She usually post at the Bromeliad forum. It would be awesome if she could also be a regular here in this forum, too. I saw her at Oahu Urban Garden Center in February, selling her plants, which includes Heliconias--don't know the types though, I was more interested in her bromeliads. Visit her site, Olomana Tropicals, and email her about your question and then post the answers here. I'm curious what her reply is. Good luck!
