Heliconias — Available for Pickup at the Nursery
Heliconias — Available for Pickup at the Nursery
A genuine range of sizes to suit every stage of your garden — from 140mm pots right through to established 300mm specimens, ready to make an immediate impact.
- 140mm pots — starting at $20 each
- 300mm pots — price on application (we’re reviewing pricing this weekend, watch this space)
Our pickup range focuses on genuinely good landscaping varieties as well as designer heliconias like Bushmaster (“Dinosaur”) and Heliconia longa — real feature plants that thrive here in the Wet Tropics and bring genuine drama to a garden. If you’re after a statement heliconia rather than just filler, these are exactly the kind of plants to build a feature bed or entrance planting around.
Grown on-site and genuinely ready to hit the ground running once you get them home — no long acclimatisation needed.
We’re always happy to work with local Mission Beach landscaping companies and professional gardeners — come have a look at what’s currently ready, and we’ll help you find the right varieties and sizes for your project.
Visit by appointment — get in touch to arrange a time.

How We Pack
Every plant is soaked in a tri-kelp solution before packing to reduce transit stress and give your plants the best start. We pack using recycled boxes. Your plants travel secure, hydrated, and wrapped in materials we feel good about.
Where We Ship
We ship to QLD, NSW, ACT and VIC via Australia Post eParcel with tracking on every order. Flat rate shipping applies — see checkout for rates to your state. We are unable to ship to WA, SA, TAS or NT at this time.
When We Ship
Orders are picked and packed weekly. During extreme heat, we may hold your order for a cooler shipping window to protect your plants in transit — if this happens, we'll let you know via email. We don't ship into known heatwave conditions.
When Your Plants Arrive
Open your box as soon as possible. Even a few hours in a hot letterbox or on a doorstep can stress tropical plants. Give them a good drink of water and a light foliar spray of kelp solution, place them in a shaded spot for a day or two gradually increasing light to recover from transit, then plant out or pot up into their permanent position. Most plants bounce back quickly — new growth within a few weeks is normal. for more information https://elarishtropicalexotics.com.au/2026/07/25/what-to-do-when-your-mail-order-plants-arrive/
