Musa basjoo - Hardy Japanese Banana Zone 7B
The Musa Basjoo will bring a tropical
atmosphere to your garden, and may even produce fruit. The flowers are creamy
yellow with large brown bracts and are arranged on a pendant spike. Behind the
flowers the small edible some inedible bananas form. It is a perennial although
the top will die down in winter, and it will do best if offered some winter
protection. Forming a dense bush with thick, fan like leaves spreading
gloriously out through the air, it will create wonderful shadows on your patio.
Hailing from Japan, it loves sunshine
but it is reputedly hardy to 14F degrees, and can take many positions growing!
The 'Japanese Hardy Banana' is also brilliant if planted into a large pot and
will create a real tropical feel to your garden.
