A conversation piece when planted by your patio or pool deck, the ornamental banana plant will make a bold statement. It is not for small areas, as it is a large, fast growing plant. It is not hardy in this area, although there are varieties that are (plain green with inedible bananas, interesting, but not as ornamental as the colored leaved varieties). They are heavy feeders, so fertilize and water regularly and you will be rewarded with a show stopper of a plant!
