Hello all- One of my problems in trialing Heliconias in my frosty-winter zone 9a US Gulf-state climate is finding species and cultivars that can 1) endure...
Hi Michael, Misahualli blooms year round for us, but probably has a peak in the summer. It would likely be very difficult if not impossible to determine...
Hi Michael, Yes, we have this spiral lingulata or pseudoaemygdiana. I honestly haven't looked deeply into it and don't know exactly what it is. It isn't...
Michael, All my various H. rostratas, which are not recognized cultivars, bloom all year around. I don't think there is a peak blooming time here. We're at 8...
Hi Carla,  Thanks for the pictures. I am not totally sure that what Michael is talking about is the same as your pseudoaemygdiana. I will check and see...
Bryan, I'm interested in what you see when you look carefully at your spiral inflo. plant compared to H. lingulata. Check leaf texture, too, and over-all size...
Hello I am writing a proposal plant heliconias to be developed at a rural school. I am just gathering the information about the culture. Could someone tell me...

Hola Maria,  Bienvenida al grupo!!!  Some heliconias grow well in full sun, most like some shade, and a few like deep shade. It also depends on your...

Hello Jo, It's H. latispatha for sure! Is Road Runner the same as Distans? In that case, you would have to see the overall size of the plant to determine the...
Hello Michael, That's a lot of work you did! Yes, the coloration and form in the photos you sent look very much like the H. lingulatas I know. I have not seen...
Hi Carla, The plant is larger than Distans, my distans grows to about 90cm and Road runner is double the size, the flower of Road Runner is about 30cm wide...
Carla and Jo, Â I had thought that 'Road Runner' was a synonym for the correct name 'Distans', but just realized that I didn't include the name in the...

Michael and Carla, Please DON'T just go by what I say!!! I have never really checked into this, and the plant was probably just given to me years ago as...
Hi Jo,  I was answering before without having seen your photo. It is definitely NOT Distans, but I really can't tell you what cultivar it is. Here is...
