Heliconia Petra is great for cut flowers with vibrant orange pointed blooms, and a distinct look with the green 'leaf-shaped' tip on the lower bract. A little bit taller growing than the other Psittacorums, it has lush, broad leaf foliage with an upright habit, and looks great planted out in large clumps for maximum effect.
