Cassie, I grow the red and the one called Heiroglyphica in my greenhouse. It will get TALLER than 14 ft, believe me! Mine hits the 20 ft ceiling and leans. Yours will get bigger! They are gorgeous, good growing!
I used to have the pink one and a tulip torch called Yamamoto which is also pink, but i removed them from th egreenhouse because they were just too aggressive and created way too much shade.

Watch your Heliconia rostrata too...when its really, REALLY happy it too can approach and exceed 20 ft in height. I removed approximately 40-50 square feet of rostata from the greenhouse. Now I only grow it in containers.
