Musa Basjoo (Pot Size: 3 Litre Pot)

Musa ‘Basjoo’, commonly known as the Japanese Banana, is a stunning and tropical-looking plant that brings a touch of the exotic to your garden. Unlike many other bananas, ‘Basjoo’ is exceptionally hardy and can survive Winters in many climates, making it a popular choice for gardeners looking to create a lush, tropical feel. With its large, bright green, paddle-shaped leaves that can reach up to 3 meters long, it adds impressive height and structure, creating a dramatic focal point in borders, tropical-themed gardens, or as a statement plant in large containers. Flowering from mid to late Summer, Musa ‘Basjoo’ produces creamy yellow flowers that may develop into small, inedible bananas. However, it’s primarily grown for its impressive foliage rather than its fruit. This banana plant thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-drained, fertile soil. Our nursery loves Musa ‘Basjoo’ for its architectural impact and ability to transform any space into a lush oasis. It’s perfect for planting alongside palms, bamboos, and other exotic plants to create a stunning jungle effect, even in temperate gardens. Easy to care for, it requires minimal maintenance, making it a favourite among gardeners.
