"Heliconia "Lady Di"seeds"

5 Seeds Heliconia "Lady Di" Tropical Exotic Plant

HELICONIA 'Lady Di' TROPICAL EXOTIC PLANT 5 SEEDS

Heliconias are a tropical beauty that you can grow for their beautiful foliage and exotic flowers.

They are members of the banana family, the many varieties of heliconia are native to tropical regions such as Central America.

They do well indoors in cooler climates if you grow them in large pots. And if you live in a more southern climate, they are a stunning addition to your outdoor landscaping.

They can be readily raised from seed. The seed requires soaking for two or three days and sown in well drained damp compost at a temperature of 30°C.

When choosing the soil for your Heliconia flower you must use well draining soil. Do not use potting soil or soil from the backyard unless it has been prepared correctly.

If you add a mixture of 80% soil, and 20% coarse sand you will get what you need. Regular soil will hold too much water and rot out the root system.

Water your Heliconia flower sparingly. After the first time you water it, do not water your Heliconia flower again until the soil on top of the pot is completely dry to the touch. Your Heliconia flower will not survive if watered excessively.

Heliconia flowers will grow strongly in bright warm light. They are an exotic flower so they thrive from warmth. The temperature should not reach below 23 deg. C.

Try to keep the humidity around 40%. Keep your Heliconia flower in bright sunlight all the way to 45% shade.

"Duranta Repens"

10 Fresh Duranta Repens Honey Drop Seeds

The popular name of this large erect shrub is inspired by the clusters of bright orange-yellow berries that follow the flowers, in such quantities that they often cause the slender branches to droop gracefully. The lavender-blue or white flowers appear in loose clusters, and both berries and blossoms are often seen on a plant. Flowers have a mild sweet vanilla-like smell. There is also a form with variegated leaves, as well as one with bright yellow leaves; these do not bloom so profusely and are usually grown primarily for their foliage. Duranta requires frequent pruning to make a bushy plant, especially when used as a hedge, and needs full sun to bloom well. Bringing the potted garden a unique burst of color and form, this amazing cultivar surpasses the standard lavender cultivar in brightness and intensity. Use as a basket plant, a mounding bush or train into a standard, this plant will give the color deep purple new meaning. As free flower as any Duranta it covers itself in dripping chains of bloom. Each petal in the flower is defined by a light lavender boarder and marked by a white eye. A stunning sun lover that will bring months of gorgeous color to any garden, sunroom or conservatory.

Duranta is easy to grow and requires little care. It tends to sprawl and will need regular thinning and pruning to keep it under control.
