Musella lasiocarpa

This is a magnificent banana plant that remains relatively small. The highlight is the enormous yellow flower, which is easily 20 cm in diameter and, in addition to its delightful fragrance, attracts many butterflies! The banana can be overwintered (spacious) frost-free in a large pot, but the plant can withstand a little frost. So, if you plant it in the ground with humus-rich, well-draining soil, you can enjoy it for years! Good wrapping in acrylic or climate cloth provides extra protection during frost.
