This fantastic architectural Banana Plant will make a real impact on any garden! Forming a dense bush with huge paddle-like leaves that spread gloriously through the air, creating wonderful shadows on the patio. Once established, the big leaves unfurl as they emerge from the central trunk, and within 3-4 years you will see leaves at least 1m long, many even longer!
Hailing from Japan, it loves sunshine but is actually hardy down to -6°C when protected with fleece across winter - remember, this plant is frost tender outside and will not survive freezing conditions without protection. This Japanese Hardy Banana even thrives when planted in a large pot, promoting a feel of the tropics in your garden.
Supplied as an established plant, roughly 30cm tall in a 9cm pot, although can be dispatched slightly larger, as they grow rapidally as temperatures warm.
Please note - this Banana Plant will not produce edible produce when grown in the UK. Although a close cousin to commercial bananas, the fruit will not grow in UK climates.
1 x 9cm Pot, 30cm Tall
