Delightful dwarf banana with ornamental pink flowers and velvety pink fruits
This delightful dwarf banana grows to only 1.2 m (4 ft.) tall, making it perfect for small gardens and containers. Its distinctive "pinkness" is certainly very deserving of attention — the somewhat waxy leaves have a pinkish midrib, the flowers are pink to orange, and the very ornamental fruits are a bright, velvety pink, lasting for months at a time.
The bananas are edible and quite sweet, though they are full of seeds. This species is originally native to the eastern Himalayas and Assam, making it remarkably cold-hardy for a banana. It will survive even frosty winters outside if heavily mulched, or makes an excellent indoor plant. Remarkably, it is one of the few bananas that will actually flower and fruit indoors, bringing tropical elegance to any home or garden.
Very cold tolerant: Will survive even frosty winters outside if heavily mulched. Perfect for temperate climates where other tropical plants struggle. Ideal for USDA zones 8–11.
Makes an excellent indoor plant and is one of the few bananas that will actually flower and fruit in the house. Ideal for sunny windowsills and conservatories. Bring tropical beauty indoors year-round.
Dwarf variety reaching only 1.2 m (4 ft.) tall. Compact enough for containers, small gardens, and indoor cultivation. Requires minimal space while delivering maximum ornamental impact.
Produces ornamental fruits that last for months. Bright velvety pink bananas are edible and quite sweet, though full of seeds. Excellent for ornamental display and culinary use.
Soak the seeds for two days in lukewarm water. This softens the seed coat and prepares the seeds for germination, significantly improving success rates.
The seeds are sown in mineral-based cat litter (no clumping litter) or perlite (germ-free) in plastic pots. Sow the seeds on the mineral soil and cover with 5 mm - 10 mm mineral soil. This germ-free approach ensures healthy seed development.
Put the plastic pot in a ziplock bag — for a 6 cm pot, use a 12 x 17 cm ziplock bag. Fill the ziplock bag with tap water and a few drops of universal fertilizer, so that after absorption of the substrate, a few mm of water remain on the bottom. Close the ziplock bag — no more watering needed, as no moisture evaporates!
Location: Place on the windowsill or in a small greenhouse in partial shade. Daytime temperatures: about 77–86 °F (25–30 °C). Night temperatures: somewhat lower at 68–77 °F (20–25 °C). The resulting micro-climate provides ideal conditions for germination.
Germination time: 45 - 60 days. Patience is required during this critical period. Maintain consistent temperature and humidity, and avoid opening the ziplock bag unnecessarily.
