I have several types of Heliconias growing outside, including the one mentioned above. They all make it through the winter, but like bananas tend to get tattered and look a little sad, but pop right back with the return of warm weather. After two years outside, none have yet bloomed though, but they were quite small when I planted them.

Here is picture of one of them right after the freeze last month.
