Heliconia Golden Torch has golden yellow to orange flower bracts and glossy tropical leaves. It prefers moist soils with added compost in a part-shade position. Please plant as soon as possible after you receive the rhizome. The rhizome should still have growing ‘buds’ or new shoots as well as the leaf stem. The rhizome should be planted with the top (leaf stem/new shoots/buds pointing upwards) no more than 3-4 cm under the soil. New shoots or larger buds should be above the soil.Larger and already established plants require more fertilizing and more water.
