What a fun plant to grow so far! Musa Sikkimensis is red when young and then turns all green. This is a "hardy banana" species which was at one time considered as cold hardy as Musa Basjoo, but in reality is probably a solid zone 8 banana plant or zone 7 in a warm climate or with mulch.
This is my oldest, a purchase from Plant Delights Nursery in June 2022.
Anyway there are TWO cultiars. "Ever Red" is a new cultivar that is much redder than my large Musa Sikkimensis "Red Tiger" ever was & it seems to pup easier too! Here's how it's grown at my parents house.
