Description

Ensete ventricosum ‘Maurelii’

Ensete ventricosum ‘Maurelii’, also known as the red Abyssinian banana, is a stunning tropical plant prized for its dramatic foliage and bold presence. Its enormous, paddle-shaped leaves emerge green with striking red to burgundy tints, intensifying in full sun and warmth. Though not a true banana for fruiting, it offers incredible ornamental value, making a perfect focal point in borders, tropical-themed gardens, or large containers. Growing up to 3 metres in ideal conditions, it thrives in rich, moist, well-drained soil and benefits from regular feeding. In colder climates, it must be overwintered indoors or protected from frost. Bold and breathtaking.
