Musa Tandarra Red (Banana plant) Pack of 3 Pot Ready Plants
Musa Tandarra Red (Banana plant) Pack of 3 Pot Ready Plants £9.95
This banana is relatively rare in the UK so this is a great chance to add to your collection or start growing these amazingly colourful and fast growing plants. A beautiful and fast growing member of the Ensete ventricosum family, the ‘Tandarra Red’ has deeper reds and greens than the more common Maurelii.Musa Tandarra is very beautiful with stunning foliage and can get very large if grown in the garden – if you don’t want it to grow too big, just keep it in a large pot. Plant in full sun or dappled shade and keep it well watered with regular feeding.It’s not winter hardy but it can be moved indoors to protect from frost or you can grow it on through the winter months under glass. When established it becomes more hardy and just needs fleecing or protection from frost. Alternatively, cut the trunk back to soil level and keep outside with roots dry and protected from frost to trigger new and vigorous growth the following year.Supplied as very large, healthy young plants at least 30cm (12″) high, they will grow rapidly to provide huge leaves, flushed with deep burgundy and a red stem. This is an outstanding foliage plant for the patio, garden or conservatory. Full growing instructions included. Early September
