Musa sikkimensis Bengal Tiger (Darjeeling Banana)
This unique banana variety, also known as Musa sikkimensis Red Tiger, is a must-have for any tropical garden. With its large green leaves adorned with striking red blotches, it adds a touch of exotic beauty to any outdoor space.
What sets this banana apart is its ability to grow a tall stem in just one season, reaching heights of up to 8ft or more. It can thrive in both large pots and sheltered areas in the garden, making it a versatile choice for any gardener.
Easy to grow and maintain, this plant requires a heavy mulch over winter and should be moved to a frost-free area to protect its trunk. If left in the border, it is recommended to remove the stem before the first frosts and mulch heavily.
Upon collection, this plant stands at an impressive height of 2m or more. It comes in a 1L pot and is approximately 60cm tall, with trimmed leaves for easy shipping. Don't miss out on adding this unique and eye-catching plant to your collection.
