Heliconia aemygdiana is a medium sized erect heliconia, 5-10 feet tall. It is widely distributed over South America.
Produces up to 14 colorful, erect bracts, rose-purple with some yellow. The true flowers are apple green. Fruits are large and round, green when immature and an attractive glossy blue color when ripe. Broad, banana- type leaves.
The Heliconia's bracts are so large and colorful that they almost hide the flowers altogether, which are tiny and are found inside these bracts. Will bloom in a pot. But to flower in its second or third year you would need to keep the plant warm enough during Winter to prevent the top growth dying back to the rhizomes. The plant would regenerate itself the next Spring, because the tuber would have survived. Blooms from May through August. If in reasonable conditions, it blooms all year.
