Heleconia dying or dead
I planted it in the garden area. Shadow in morning but sun by noon and until 4:00 Miracle Grow and water regularly. Seemed healthy at first after planted. Progressively got weaker and weaker. Now just lays on the ground. Very disappointed.

Healthy Starter Plants
Good starter plants. They are larger and more robust than any of the other dozens of varieties I have purchased on Amazon.

Poor product
When it was received it was almost dead. I kept it in a large pot and the plant never took. Completely dead now. would not recommend this product.

Heliconia rostrata
Heliconias do not overwinter well indoors in a colder climate. The plant came in perfect condition.
