Lobster Claw

Scientific Name:

Heliconia rostrata

Lobster Claw, also known as Parrot’s Beak or Heliconia, thrives in well-drained, fertile soil with partial to full sunlight and regular watering. It is prized for its striking, vibrant flowers that resemble a lobster’s claw, making it a popular choice for ornamental use in gardens and landscapes. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, it plays a crucial role in supporting tropical ecosystems by providing habitat and nectar for hummingbirds, butterflies, and other pollinators.
