Dwarf Banana - Musa acuminata 'Dwarf Cavendish'
Nothing transforms a sunny spot quite like a banana plant. The huge, paddle-shaped leaves bring an instant tropical quality that very few other plants can match, and 'Dwarf Cavendish' is compact enough to manage in a large container on a patio or terrace through summer. It's the same variety grown commercially for fruit, though in the UK it's the foliage that's really the main event.
Native to South and Southeast Asia, banana plants are frost-tender and need bringing indoors before temperatures drop in autumn, to a bright, cool room, conservatory, or greenhouse. In summer, they put on a remarkable amount of growth with good sun and regular feeding. The leaves may tear in the wind, which is completely normal and doesn't affect the plant's health.
Grow in full sun or partial shade in fertile, well-drained soil or compost. Water freely through the growing season, reducing significantly in winter. Feed with a high-nitrogen fertiliser through spring and summer to fuel the leaf growth. Move indoors before the first cold nights of autumn.
Decorative pot not included.
