I couldn't resist removing most of my heliconia protection, and checking things out. If we get another freeze, I'll re-cover it with dirt, plastic and pinestraw. There was a massive fire ant bed throughout the heliconia stand, but it didn't seem to have damaged anything. The stems are firm and healthy, so, as long as the ground voles leave it alone, it should be blooming by late summer.
