Il colore rosa brillante delle brattee dei fiori è raro tra le heliconie, rendendone molto facile l'identificazione.
La vistosa parte rosa delle grandi e vistose infiorescenze pendenti sono in realtà le brattee cerose , (foglie modificate), con i piccoli fiori veri, verdi, seminascosti all'interno.
