The hardiest red banana
Huge maroon striped leaves
Perfect for tropical planting schemes
A fabulous new banana for 2023! Musa ‘Ever Red’ sports huge, ribbed, paddle-shaped leaves, the dark green foliage streaked with maroon-red stripes. With maturity, this fast-growing banana will develop a woody stem, creating a dramatic, architectural centrepiece for a tropical planting scheme.
Originating in the foothills of the Himalayas, Musa rivals Musa basjoo for hardiness and its thicker, stronger leaves are more windproof and more colourful and hardier than sikkimensis Bengal Tiger. ‘Ever Red’retains its red leaf colour for longer during the summer in comparison to Bengal Tiger.
Plants will thrive outdoors in mild areas if given some protection or they can be grown in containers and moved into a frost-free position over winter. Height and spread: 3-4m (10-13ft).
Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.
