I think heliconias bloom in about 1 1/2 or 2 years from seed.

Poppysue, I think my seedlings have a few weeks on yours, but I will be in it for the long haul. I hope you get a definite answer soon.

I spose I might be able to handle two years... maybe. Any longer than that and I'll send them south to live!
