Heliconia orthotricha ‘Kid Pink’


Heliconia orthotricha ‘Kid Pink’  (Heliconia orthotricha ‘Kid Pink’)

My very rare Kid Pink Heliconia was a Christmas gift from a friend this past Christmas. Not sure how well it’ll grow outside in our mild subtropical climate. This coming winter will tell…as so many Heliconia species are very tropical and need a wet tropical climate to grow. Photo taken Oct. 15, 2023.

I know that you have a great climate in San Diego but that Heliconia has a large spectacular bloom like you see on the ultra tropical or at least south florida Heliconias.
Give it yer best shot!

It is zoned for 10b, most likely it’ll do well. We’ll see this coming winter.
