HELICONIA SCHIEDEANA | Lobster Claw Heliconia : Bring Tropical Splendor to Your Space

Heliconia Schiedeana, also known as Lobster Claw Heliconia, infuses your surroundings with an enchanting tropical touch, closely resembling its relative, the banana plant. This evergreen perennial boasts glossy, light green oblong-shaped leaves, smooth yet leathery in texture, and can reach heights of up to 8ft.

Its eye-catching upright inflorescences, adorned with scarlet bracts and bright yellow flowers at the axils, are not only long-lasting but also appear once the plant matures, typically around the age of 2 years. While incredibly easy to grow, Heliconia Schiedeana is renowned for its cold-hardiness, making it the most resilient among all Heliconias. However, to ensure its well-being, it’s advisable to bring it indoors during the winter months.

Whether adorning your garden, patio, conservatory, or greenhouse, Heliconia Schiedeana is perfect for infusing an exotic ambiance into your space.
