14.99 GBP

You Garden Ensete ventricosum 'Maurelii' - Red Abysinnian Banana 1L Bring tropical drama to your garden with the Red Abyssinian Banana, also known as Ensete ventricosum Maurelii. This exotic beauty produces vast upright leaves streaked with deep burgundy and red highlights, giving an immediate lush, jungle feel to patios, balconies and borders. Grown for its spectacular foliage, not its fruit, this is a must-have for anyone wanting bold colour and architectural structure. The broad, paddle-like leaves can reach up to 75cm in a single season, making it a brilliant focal point whether in a large pot or directly in the ground. The more warmth and sun you give it, the more colour it shows. The deep red leaf margins and veins become more vivid in full sunlight, offering a dramatic contrast against green planting. Borderline hardy, so in late autumn, allow leaves to die back and cut stem to 20cm tall, and bring somewhere frost free until the following May. Keep dry, and new leaves should quickly emerge next year. Supplied as an established plant in a 9cm pot, approximately 22-40cm tall, ready to plant out. Please note that plants may a bit taller in summer when sent out as growth is rapid. Potted: Y A great new colour addition to architectural foliage Bananas for tropical garden look. Leaves reach 75cm long each year. Grow in hot, sunny warm spots in large pots. Not winter hardy, so protect from frost each winter and keep dry. Supplied as an established plant in a 9cm pot, approximately 22-40cm tall, ready to plant. Planting Position: Sunny A fabulous choice for adding instant impact with a tropical touch to any style of garden. Large architectural leaves are tinged red - great for adding colour to foliage displays. Can be grown direct in the ground or in large pots that can be placed around the patio. Supplied approx. 30-40cm tall in a 1L pot.
