Ensete glaucum
Snow Banana
Description
Ensete glaucum, commonly known as the Snow Banana, is a striking ornamental banana relative. It is known for its large, blue-green leaves that provide a tropical feel. Unlike true bananas, it doesn't produce edible fruit. The pseudostem, which is formed by the tightly packed leaf bases, can grow quite tall. It requires a warm climate and consistent moisture. In cooler regions, it can be grown in a large pot to overwinter indoors. Provide plenty of sunlight for the best growth and leaf coloration. Make sure to protect this plant from frost.
