Heliconia x plagiotropa 'Red Tropic'

'Red Tropic' is native to Ecuador and is a natural hybrid between Heliconia latispatha × Heliconia spathocircinata. With its strong clumping habit and inflorescence held above the foliage, it makes an excellent landscape candidate. Unusual and hard to find, this Heliconia is well suited for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
