Description
Ensete ventricosum (Large Seed) is a fabulously exotic, green-leaved variety of the much-loved Ensete maurelii, sometimes known as ‘Abssinian Banana’ and rarely available, this special banana produces huge paddle-shaped deep dreen leaves with some red in the veining and central ribs. Growing at a fast pace, it’s a must have for lovers of large leaves and exotic gardening. Having the same or similar hardiness to Ensete maurelii, plants can be lifted and stored in a frost free location over winter. ‘Large Seed’ is simply because the plant produces exceptionally large seeds in conparision to other forms.
Plant in full sun to partial shade in fertile, moisture retentive but free draining soil. Do make sure your Ensete doesn’t dry out. Applications of liquid seaweed fertiliser are beneficial throughout the growing season.
**Please note plants may be cut back for delivery purposes – this poses no risk to the plant and new leaves will quickly develop**
