Extremely easy to grow, but multiplies rapidly, so put it in a place where it has room to spread.

Plant it in a pot, not in the ground. They spread very quickly and are difficult to remove. There's also a lot of dead-heading involved.

I agree with Ricky :} I'm keeping all the gingers and heliconias in pots now

I think it might be somewhat invasive. I have some in my backyard and last year it was about 20 feet from the house and now it's about 10 feet from the house. It actually doubled its spread. It is taking over the backyard and I am a little worried about where it's going next! Oh dear, I just saw that you are keeping heliconias in pots! Along with the red button ginger in my yard are plenty of heliconias. The heliconia seems to adore the ginger!

I don't want to keep it in the pot, I want to put it in the ground with the Golden torch heliconia.

Now I need to see if ppl think golden torch spread rapidly, if so I think I might be fine with the red button. I would want it to spread some it would be great to have some dotting through out the torch and the BOP. I think the area does not get enough sun for the plants to get prolific and we get small quick freezes in Tampa wh/ kills out much of the torch but then they come back in the spring!
