Part Number: Zebrina Banana Plant

Details: The 'Zebra' of the Plant World Forget plain green foliage. The Zebrina Banana (Musa acuminata 'Zebrina') is a masterpiece of nature, prized worldwide for its exotic 'painted' leaves. Known commonly as the Blood Banana, its foliage looks like it has been splashed with wine-red paint, creating a dramatic, variegated pattern that is unique to every leaf. If you are looking to create a tropical paradise vibe on your patio or in your sunroom, this is the plant that delivers the 'wow' factor. A Designer Favorite for Containers While many banana trees become too massive for the average home, the Zebrina is the perfect 'middle ground.' It grows tall and elegant (up to 6-10 feet) but remains slender, making it a top choice for landscape designers using large decorative pots. Its upright, arching habit provides instant height and structure, framing entryways or pool areas with a splash of deep burgundy color. Ornamental Excellence Please note: The Zebrina is grown primarily as an ornamental foliage plant. While it can produce small, seeded bananas in ideal tropical conditions, they are generally not eaten. The true 'fruit' of this plant is the spectacular show it puts on every day with its leaves. Resilient and Rewarding Native to Sumatra, this plant loves heat and humidity. It thrives in USDA Zones 9-11 as a perennial. For gardeners in cooler zones, it makes a spectacular summer annual that grows rapidly to peak size by August. It can easily be overwintered indoors near a bright window or dormant in a cool basement, ready to emerge again next spring. Start Your Tropical Journey Our 5-9 inch starter plants are healthy, tissue-culture grown (ensuring disease-free stock), and ready to explode with growth in your garden. Secure your Zebrina Banana today and enjoy the lush, variegated beauty of the tropics in your own backyard.
