An experiment was carried out to evaluate 25 genotypes of heliconia (Heliconia spp) under 50% shade net during 2008-09 to 2010-11. Wide range of variation among the 25 genotypes of heliconia was recorded with respect to vegetative and floral characteristics. Among the different genotypes, Iris Bannochie (red), Parrot Beak (red with yellow edges), Lobster Claw-II (orange-red), Pedro Ortiz (cherry red), H. wagneria Red (red), Orange (crimson) and Golden Torch (yellow) were found ideal for cut flowers and recommended for commercial cultivation and as landscape plant for south Gujarat.
