Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This is a stunning Heliconia with a very large upright flower that is gold with red 'splashes' all over. It looks like someone took a paint brush and flicked red paint all over a gold colored flower! The plant grows from 4-8' tall and blooms well in containers. It does well in partial shade to full sun.
