Heliconia Sexy Scarlet

YARDEN’S NEW SIREN – DANGEROUSLY BEAUTIFUL

The Heliconia Sexy Scarlet doesn’t just grow – it performs. Each stem erupts with cascading layers of fire-engine red bracts, each one cradling golden-yellow flowers that beckon pollinators like a botanical cabaret. This is tropical drama at its most seductive.

Why This Variety Sets Hearts Racing:

✔ Couture Color – Deeper, richer reds than standard heliconias with glossy finish
✔ Towering Presence – Mature clumps reach 6-8 ft for instant jungle impact
✔ Floral Stamina – Continuous blooms from first frost to last (in warm zones)
✔ Wildlife Seduction – Attracts 5x more hummingbirds than typical varieties

CARE (IT’S HOT BUT LOW-MAINTENANCE):
☀️ Light: Full sun (for best color) to light shade
💧 Water: Keep soil consistently moist (but never soggy)
🌡️ Hardiness: Zones 10-11 (container-grow in Zone 9)
✂️ Pruning: Remove spent stems at base to encourage new growth

DESIGNER SECRETS:
• Moonlight Garden Magic – Red flowers glow under landscape lighting
• Tropical Noir – Pair with black colocasia for lethal elegance
• Poolside Pizzazz – Reflected blooms double the visual impact
• Living Screen – Plant 4 ft apart for tropical privacy

FLORIST’S DREAM: Cut stems last 14+ days in arrangements – the ultimate tropical centerpiece!

🚚 Ships as: Robust 1-gallon plant with visible flower spike. Leaves may have minor imperfections – proof your plant wasn’t pumped with synthetic boosters!

🔥 WHY THIS LISTING SMOLDERS:

1. Sensory language (“voluptuous”, “seductive”, “cabaret”) creates desire

2. Superlative claims (“5x more hummingbirds”) build credibility

3. After-dark appeal highlights moonlight garden potential

4. Dual-purpose value as both landscape plant and cut flower
