This beautiful cold hardy ornamental banana hybrid is most likey a Musa ornata x Musa velutina hybrid. Unlike many edible types, these ornamentals are quick to bloom and will bloom reliably every summer. If pollinated they will make small purple bananas. Though the pulp is edible, its surrounding lots of very hard large seeds. Great in large tropical cut flower arrangements. In the garden it is hardy to Zone 8 and normally starts blooming at 6′ tall. In good garden soil and sun it can grow to 10′ feet. It is a banana after all so give it space to thrive.
Grows to 6-10′ feet in medium to full sun, hardy in Zones 8-10.
