Hanging Heliconia is botanically known as Heliconia rostrata. This exotic tropical flower is native to South America and can be found from Columbia to Peru, but is mainly imported from Hawaii. Mature plants can reach heights of 10 feet. Heliconia vellerigera is available by special order only.

Hanging Heliconia also goes by the name of "Hanging Lobster Claw". Stems are quite long often measuring between 48" to 60" in overall length. Each stem produces a single flower which weeps downward. This large from flower requires a warmer temperature than your every day flowers... with a preferred temperature of 65 degrees. Vase life is excellent... with the flowers lasting 10 to 14 days depending on age and environmental conditions.
