	Heliconia caribaea-Large erect red bracts. This species can become very large under ideal conditions. It will even grow in lava rock with a little mulch and fertilizer. Full sun to light shade. Best where temperatures are above 55F.
	Heliconia champneiana-Heliconiaceae. Native to Central America. Erect inflorescence with red, ornagne or gold bracts. There are several cultivars with different color bracts. Foliage banana-like.

	Heliconia collinsiana-Heliconiaceae. Native to Central America. Pendant inflorescence with red bracts. full sun to light shade. Foliage is banana-like. Stems and leaf underside are covered in a white waxy powder; this seems to be a natural defense against insects. Rich soil high in organic matter. Plants grow rapidly.
	Heliconia griggsiana-. Pendant red inflorescence with spiral bracts. Large plant with thick tough leaves. Withstands wind better than many Heliconia species. It is reported to tolerate cool temperatures but not freezing. Outdoors in southern California and Florida where frost are rare. It will grow just about anywhere in Hawaii below 3,000 ft. elevation if adequate water can be provided.
	Heliconia harlingii-Heliconiaceae. Pendant dark red inflorescence. Some hair on the bracts. Plants reach 4 to 7 ft. tall. Can tolerate full sun in a protected location. Best with some wind protection.
	Heliconia latispatha-Heliconiaceae. Medium sized plants with banana-like foliage. Orange erect inflorescence with narrow spiral bracts. One of the easiest Heliconia to grow. Blooms in the summer in Hawaii. This species should grow very well in a container.
	Heliconia magnifica-Heliconiaceae. Medium sized plants with banana-like foliage. Stems are almost black. Penant deep red inflorescence is furry and often over 3 ft. long. Bracts are spirally arranged. This species isn't producing seed for me. However, I will periodically have divisions for sale locally.
	Heliconia nigripraefixa-Heliconiaceae. Pendant dark red inflorescence with black on the tips of the bracts. Plants reach 6 to 10 ft. tall. Grows best in a shady protected location. Leaves tend to shred in windy conditions. Uncommon and unique species.
	Heliconia psittacorum-Heliconiaceae. Medium sized plants with narrow leaves. Red or orange inflorescence. Plants take full sun and tolerate some wind. However, they tend to run and can be invasive.
	Heliconia regalis-Heliconiaceae. Medium sized plants with banana-like foliage. Pendant reddish inflorescence covered in fur. Similar to H. magnifica but the bracts are a little shorter and a lighter shade of red. This species is not producing seed for me. However, I will periodically have divisions for sale at the nursery.
	Heliconia riopalenquensis- Heliconiaceae. Native to South America. New import. Very limited quantity available. Plants withstand wind better than many species. Pendant pink inflorescence with pale cream tips on the bracts. Very uncommon species.
	Heliconia rostrata-Heliconiaceae. Medium sized plants with narrow leaves. Pendant red & yellow inflorescence. One of the most beautiful and popular Heliconia.
	Heliconia schummaniana- Heliconiaceae. Native to South America. Erect red and yellow inflorescense. Large leaves. The batch of seed that I received may be a different species but similar.
	Heliconia stricta- Photo is of "Dwarf Jamaican" which blooms when about 1 ft. to 1.5 ft. tall. All H. stricta cultivars are small to medium sized plants. Easy to grow and a good Heliconia for begginers. I have seedlings of Dwarf Jamaican which are showing little variation from the parent.
