About this plant
Musa basjoo is the garden banana: it bears no edible fruit but produces two-metre leaves of luminous green that rustle at the slightest breeze. In a single season it turns a terrace corner into an oasis garden.
Unlike tropical bananas, it copes with cold: its rootstock survives hard frosts and regrows in spring. It loves water and rich soil, and grows faster the better it is fed.
In a clump around a pool, at the back of a patio or in an XXL planter, it is the plant that delivers the most effect the fastest.

Care
Caring for your plant
Watering
Abundant: every other day in pots at the height of summer, twice a week in the ground. A thick mulch limits evaporation.
Light
Sun or half-shade, sheltered from strong winds that tear the leaves.
Feeding
Hungry: nitrogen-rich feed every two weeks from April to September, generous compost in spring.
Temperature
Foliage burns below 0 °C but the rootstock survives −10 °C under mulch; the plant regrows every spring.
- Two metres of foliage in a single season
- The only banana that survives Fes winters
- An instant oasis effect around a pool
