ABYSSINIAN BANANA, RED BANANA
- Unit price
- / per
Very rare and hard-to-find seeds! These gorgeous banana's have bright red midribs! The more sun, the redder they get! The leaves are bright green, sometimes with a red tint in full sun. Forms a spectacular clump! It is also one of the hardiest Banana's and can live in a cool greenhouse!
We love to use these plants in large planters on the patio, for an exotic look. In winter we cut them back and keep them in a cool room, ideally with sun or lighting. They bounce back well every year!
Type: Tropical, patio or houseplant
Height: Up to 6 meters (20 feet) in tropical locations, or use as an ornamental patio or houseplant
Hardiness zones: 9-11 outdoors, or grow indoors.
Seeds per packet: 5 (previously 3)
Before planting soak the seeds for 24 hours. Sow just under the surface of the soil and water in. Keep lightly moist. Fluctuating temperatures are helpful, using a heat set on a timer to run warm during the day for 16 hours 26°C (79°F), and then off at night for 8 hours (room temperature). Seeds germinate at irregular times, some may germinate about 30 days, while others can take several months.
