there are so many beautiful vireyas and also aromatic, these also propogate very well in pure cinder and partial sun/shade.
there are too many heliconias to discuss, most of the smaller heliconias are invasive, but the there are some larger varieties that tend to be clumpers....there is a lady who sells strictly heliconias at the makuu market and she can answer your questions - she grows alot of the exotic varieties if your interested in trying some of the more unusual varieties.....you might ask to tour her garden - its in orchidland.
crinums are very easy to grow and become very large plants, the foliage is still nice once the blooms die off, i think they are relatively easy to propogate by division.
