‘Choconiana’ has bright orange flowers that rise above the foliage during the summer to fall bloom season. It makes an ideal container plant for the patio, or it may be planted in the landscape in tropical zones. Heliconia psittacorum has a shorter growth habit, and the colorful flower heads are about 4” long. It’s an easy grower that thrives in warm temperatures when given a plentiful supply of water and fertilizer.
