Heliconia
Heliconia is a genus of tropical flowering plants native to Central and South America and the Pacific Islands. Known for their dramatic, colorful bracts that can be red, orange, yellow, or pink, heliconias are often called “lobster claws” or “wild plantains” due to the shape and arrangement of their flowers.
These plants thrive in warm, humid environments and are commonly found in rainforests and tropical gardens. Heliconias grow as large perennial herbs with broad, banana-like leaves and can reach heights of 3 to 15 feet depending on the species.
Their vibrant bracts are not only visually stunning but also attract hummingbirds and other pollinators, making them a popular choice for exotic landscaping and floral arrangements.
