Add these dramatic new banana trees to your garden and enjoy a show of strong and impressive leaves.
Also known as Musa sikkimensis, these plants boast large, ribbed, paddle-like leaves in a superb dark green shade, streaked with stripes of maroon red.
‘Ever Red’ is the perfect centrepiece for a tropical planting scheme, and when mature will form an impressive, wooded stem.
The thick and strong leaves are thankfully windproof and more colourful and hardy than those seen on other varieties of banana tree.
For best results, these plants will truly thrive when placed in mild areas, and offered some protection, while ‘Ever Red’ will also perform well in containers, making it easy to move around and into a frost-protected area for the cold winter.
Supplied as three established plants in 9cm pots, ready for planting.
