Yeah, plant that heliconia in a planter or with some sort of barrier (like a paved road) to keep it contained. Once it gets loose, it goes everywhere and digging it out again is a huge chore. It is a nice plant and good to cover difficult areas, but definitely it can become invasive.
Heliconia are good for wet soggy shady areas and will also handle sun if they've got the water.
Pua keni keni will become a tree, so give it enough space to grow. The flowers smell really nice so somewhere upwind of your house is always a nice spot for a pua keni keni.
