Musa sikkimensis 'Ever Red'
Musa sikkimensis 'Ever Red' is a spectacular ornamental banana that brings instant tropical drama to gardens and large containers. Its bold, upright stems carry striking green leaves heavily flushed and striped with rich maroon-red tones, creating a vivid and exotic display throughout the growing season.
Fast growing and architectural, this impressive banana develops a strong, upright habit with gently arching leaf tips, making it ideal for contemporary planting schemes or as a statement feature in borders. Once established, it shows good tolerance to wind and performs best in full sun with moist, well-drained soil. Shortlisted at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2024, ‘Ever Red’ is a standout variety for gardeners seeking scale, colour and impact.
