Heliconia x 'Golden Torch'

Prolific, almost-everblooming Heliconia hybrid, with a bright yellow colour. It is quite short growing, about 100-150 cm cm tall. 

It is a cross of Heliconia psittacorum × Heliconia spathocircinata, and thanks to the spathocyrcinata blood, leaves are wider than the typical psittacorum so it acts as a good space-filler. It also grows at cooler temperatures, being also hardy to short light frosts.
