Hi, we are growing and flowering quite a few heliconias in Sydney. They include rostrata, Red Christmas, Yellow Christmas, pendula, subulata, papsiana, stricta Jamaican Dwarf and bihai. There are more growing here that should start flowering soon.

Hi Helen

Do they naturally die back or do frosts hit them?

You must be in a good microclimate?

Im trying mine in the outback, in Kalgoorlie!!
