Ensete ventricosum 'Maurelii' - Red Banana

Market price from $18.50 to $40.99

Ensete ventricosum 'Maurelii' is the mesmerizing plant you might recognize as the Red Banana. This visually stunning plant is highly coveted in landscaping for its remarkably large paddle-shaped leaves in fiery, vibrant hues of red and burgundy. Towering majestically as high as 20 feet tall, this statuesque beauty hails originally from East Africa, bringing a taste of tropical simplicity to your garden. Though known as the Red Banana, its notable qualities are found less in the rarely produced banana-like fruit, and more in the lush, colorful foliage. Delicate, charming yellow tubular flowers add an additional touch of drama, making this plant a real showstopper! Acclimated best in warm climates with vivid, full sun to dappled shade, the Red Banana Plant savors regular watering and appreciates moist, but well-drained soil. Fret not if your local weather is cooler, as this tropical gem can also adapt to indoor living when potted within a container during the brisk winter months. Embrace the robust, exotic elegance of the Red Banana Plant and elevate your garden into a tropical paradise.
