Looking for a non-invasive small growing Heliconia? Then look no further! Bucky is a fantastic variety, growing only to 2m with neat, dark green foligae and large red-orange flowers. A much better choice than the sometimes weedy and cold sensitive Heliconia psittacorum.
Very low maintenance. Apply generous manure and/or compost around the plant for best results as this is a plant that will do much better in a rich, organic soil.
Use quality fertilizer such as Troforte or Organic Link to maintain vigorous growth. Prune away spent flowers and leaves if desired.
Suited for sun
Large, solid-red flowers
Small size, lush foliage
