Heliconia Red Carpet

🌟 HELICONIA RED CARPET – YOUR GARDEN’S STAR PERFORMER 🌟

Roll out the red carpet for this show-stopping tropical beauty! The Heliconia Red Carpet is a compact superstar, offering all the drama of traditional heliconias in a perfectly petite package. With its vibrant crimson bracts and glossy green leaves, it’s like having a permanent tropical celebration in your backyard or patio.

Why You’ll Love This Little Firecracker:
✔ Big Color, Small Space – Only 2-3 feet tall, ideal for containers or tight garden spots
✔ Long-Lasting Blooms – Fiery red bracts shine for months (not just weeks!)
✔ Low-Fuss Tropical – More cold-tolerant than most heliconias (down to 30°F briefly)
✔ Versatile Showoff – Works as thriller in mixed containers or massed as colorful groundcover

🌱 EASY-GROWING TROPICAL:
☀️ Light: Full sun to partial shade (best color with 4+ hours of sun)
💦 Water: Keep consistently moist; mulch to retain moisture
🌿 Zones: 9-11 (grow as annual elsewhere or overwinter indoors)

Perfect For:
• Patio pots that need wow factor
• Poolside planting (no messy leaf drop!)
• Balcony gardens craving tropics
• Garden borders wanting vertical interest

Designer Tip: Pair with blue agave or purple wandering jew for knockout color contrast!

🚛 Ships As: Established plant in 6″ grower’s pot. May arrive with minor leaf imperfections – this means your plant is actively growing, not chemically forced!

Why This Stands Out:

• Emphasizes compact size (key for urban gardeners)

• Highlights cold tolerance (unusual for heliconias)

• Positioned as versatile (containers to groundcover)

• Includes design pairing tip (adds value for customers)
