Musa Sikkimensis ‘ever Red’ – Hardy Darjeeling Banana – Extra Large Circa 140-160cms Tall

Ever Red is a fabulous new banana, that also made it to the finals of the Chelsea Flower Show plant of the year aware in 2024!
 
Sporting huge, ribbed, paddle-shaped leaves, Ever Red gets its name from the dark green foliage streaked with maroon-red stripes. As it matures, fast-growing Ever Red bananas will develop a woody stem, creating a dramatic, architectural centrepiece for a tropical planting scheme.
 
Since Musa sikkimensis originate from the foothills of the Himalayas, this Banana rivals the well know Musa basjoo for hardiness, plus the thicker, stronger leaves are more windproof and more colourful. ‘Ever Red’ retains its red leaf colour for longer during the summer in comparison to other sikkimensis Banana varieties such as Bengal Tiger.
 
Plants will thrive outdoors in mild areas if given some protection or they can be grown in containers and moved into a frost-free position over winter. In season, plants can reach as high as 3-4 metres.
 
Supplied in at around 140-160cms tall, these are very well eastbalished chunky specimens. 
 
As it is now Autumn, we need to cut these plants back, rather than hold them over until next year we’ve decided to give you a HUGE bargain as it won’t be too long and we will need the space they are taking up for Holly and Christmas trees – so grab a bargain whilst stocks last!  Fair use policy of 1 per order applies in order to give as many people as possible the chance of getting their hands on one of these well established plants.
