I have during my trips to various countries in the tropics been fascinated by heliconias, but have
become only recently interested in growing tropicals up here in the frigid north.

Therefore my question is: Has anybody attempted to grow these beautiful plants in northern
regions, i. e., wintered them in pots inside the house?

I would really appreciate to hear about your experience.

Thanks in advance,
Olaf
