MUSA SIKKIMENSIS sp. Red Tiger, Darjeeling banana

very exotic and extremely rare - winter hardy

$ 4.00     sold out     Back to homepage

Seed count

Quantity:    


From monsoonal mountain forests in extreme eastern India on the border to Burma comes this colorful variety of the famous Darjeeling banana. While just as easy to grow and just as cold tolerant as the regular M. sikkimensis, it has a most stunning pattern to its leaves, with dark purple zebra stripes on the upper surface and a reddish purple below. The pseudostems are yellowish green.

Sikkimensis species Red Tiger are very rare and seldom offered Banana seeds. They are very easy to germinate.

This exotic beauty is winter hardy.
