The tropical look of this Ensete will make you feel like you are pool side, or oceanside in the tropics. The waxy, royal red foliar contrast provides a welcomed addition to any garden or container. Provides an instantaneous tropical connection to any application. Hardy in zones 10 and 11, but can be direct planted or containerized in lower zones. Will amass a 4' x 3' stature in a very short period.
This unusual Himalayan banana species is native to regions with heavy annual snowfall and hard frosts. The outsize green foliage grows to 5 feet on stems that can be 18 feet or more. A robust grower, this dazzlerÆs glossy dark green leaves radiate scarlet-red from the underside, with dramatic burgundy streaks on the leaf fronts. In our initial testing, this wondrous rarity has proven just as hardy as M. basjoo, possibly a partial zone hardier. Mulch heavily in zone 6. Give this one a try weÆd love to hear your results.
Not your typical banana! A superb, hardy shrub banana species. Large, Lotus-like yellow flowers appear beneath leathery, tropical gray-green leaves throughout the summer. We have seen the plant grow up to almost 6' tall from the crown in one season. We list it as hardy zones 7-10, bu we have seen it overwinter in our zone 6 gardens, however a layer of mulch is suggested in the winter to ensure survival. Makes an impressive container plant.
