Back to buying options2 Basjoo Banana Live Plants – Musa basjoo | 4–6 Inch Hardy Banana Starters | Tropical Foliage | No Pot | Cold Hardy Ornamental Banana | Garden & Patio Plant
Bring a lush tropical look to your garden with this set of 2 live Basjoo Banana starter plants. Musa basjoo is prized for its large, broad green leaves and its ability to tolerate cooler conditions better than many tropical banana varieties. It is an excellent ornamental choice for creating a tropical-style garden display in landscapes, patios, borders, and containers.
You will receive two healthy young Basjoo Banana plants approximately 4–6 inches tall. The plants ship without pots, with their roots protected using soil or moisture-retaining material to help during transit.
These are young starter plants rather than mature landscape specimens. With warmth, sunlight, regular moisture, nutrients, and time, they can develop into impressive banana plants with large tropical foliage. Mature plants may produce ornamental fruit, but Basjoo is primarily grown for its foliage and landscape appeal.
