Heliconia
Heliconia are also known as lobster claw plants, parrot flower, or false birds-of-paradise. They feature bright red, orange, green, and yellow bracts that cluster along the stem. It’s native to Central and South America, so it can grow well in lower regions of the USA (zones 10-13). They’re an herbaceous plant that can grow as tall as 15 feet. Their stems are long, and their flowers are drooping panicles with waxy bracts. Their shape limits their pollination and only certain subsets of hummingbirds can access their pollen.
