Heliconia longiflora is a clumping, tropical perennial that has prominent yellow and white flowers and orange bracts and the fruits are deep blue when ripe.
The banana-like leaves are arranged alternately in two opposite vertical rows similar to that of gingers, providing a lush and exotic appearance to gardens.
Heliconia longiflora thrives in the tropics, where temperatures remain consistently warm throughout the year.
Grown anywhere cooler they will need protection from cold winds - though of course they can be grown indoors or in glasshouses.
