A breathtaking tropical variety famous for its long, pendulous (hanging) flowers that “drip” with vibrant colour. Both the stems and the undersides of the deep green leaves of the Heliconia Waxy Red feature a unique white, powdery waxy coating, making this one of the most distinctive and architectural plants for a tropical garden.

Why Australian Gardeners Love Heliconias

  • Instant tropical impact: Large, lush foliage and sculptural blooms turn ordinary gardens into exotic paradises.
  • Wildlife magnets: Their nectar-rich bracts attract birds, butterflies, and beneficial insects (echoing their natural hummingbird pollination in the wild).
  • Versatile landscaping: Use as feature plants, privacy screens, poolside accents, or mass plantings.
  • Clumping varieties stay tidy; others form bold clumps up to 5m tall.
  • Year-round interest: Many flower prolifically through the warmer months, with some blooming almost continuously in humid conditions.
  • Cut-flower superstar: The long-lasting bracts make stunning indoor displays.
