Psittocorums are fast growing smaller heliconias that flower prolifically all year round. The plants are Rysome growers, producing a new flower stem from an existing stem. Once the stem has flowered it will not reflower. They will naturally fall over if left or even better why not cut them and put them in a vase!!
These plants are low maintenance and work well when you need to fill an area. If you are planting within your garden be aware that they will invade across a garden bed but when contained or used in an area where their edge can be mown they create a lovely display of colour and give you flowers all year round.
Psittacorum x Spathocircinata Red/Gold Torch is a larger variety of psittacorum with spectacular red and gold flowers. Can be planted in full sun or part shade. Will fill areas great for landscaping those hard to maintain areas.
