Rj, my Heliconia is 7-8 years old maybe older from Jerry. I recently found out that it will bloom on second year stalk( I am a trimmer). It is in partial shade with no die back in the winter. I also have a dwarf variegated one from e-bay that is not doing well and a variegated heliconia also from Jerry with very little variegation and no bloom for the last 5 years.
I think that I might get more blooms if it was in full sun. I'm planning on dividing the clump this fall.
Good luck with yours.
