£15.00

Musa sikkimensis 'Ever Red', also known as the Darjeeling banana, is a hardy ornamental banana plant prized for its large, tropical leaves with prominent maroon-red streaks.

  • Foliage: This banana has large, paddle-shaped leaves that can grow up to 2 metres long. The upper surface is a deep green subtly streaked with red, while the underside is a dark maroon-red.
  • Hardiness: Originating from the foothills of the Himalayas, this is one of the more cold-tolerant banana varieties. 
  • Size: This is a fast-growing plant that can reach a maximum height of 3–4 metres.
  • Wind resistance: The leaves are thicker and stronger than many other banana varieties, which makes them less prone to shredding in the wind.
  • Growth habit: The plant is a herbaceous perennial that can be grown in containers or planted directly in the ground.
