A delightful dwarf species to only 1,2m (4ft) tall, it bears somewhat waxy leaves with a pinkish midrib.

The flowers are pink to orange and the very ornamental fruits,

 dwarf bananas, are a bright, velvety pink and last for months at a time. 

 This species is very cold tolerant and will survive even frosty winters outside if heavily mulched. 

Alternatively it makes an excellent indoor plant and is one of the few bananas that will actually flower and fruit  in the house.

Sowing: Sow indoors at any time of year.
Sow seeds as soon as you are able. If you are not going to sow them, store them in their packaging in a cool, dark, dry place. (Do not refrigerate)


Soak seed for 3-4 days in warm water, which has been previously boiled. Change the water each day. (This process is important, as gets rid of germination inhibitors)
Fill either large cells or trays with perlite, vermiculite or sterilized compost. Stand the trays in water until the medium is completely moist
Sow the seeds 2.5cm (1”) deep. Spray the seeds with a little copper based fungicide
Bottom heat is helpful, place in a propagator if you have one or in a warm location out of direct sunlight. Do not exclude light as this helps germination. Keep at a constant temperature of 20-25°C (68-77°F).


Check the seeds daily for germination. If mold or fungus appears, remove the seeds and wash them in warm water. Spray them with fungicide and re-sow in a fresh medium in a sterilized pot.
Keep the surface of the compost moist but not waterlogged. Patience is needed as germination is erratic and take from one to twelve months. Do not give up too soon!


Growing: 
When large enough to handle, transplant seedlings into 7.5cm (3 inch) pots, taking care not to damage the root system. Grow on in well-lit conditions, and pot on, into rich, well drained soil, as required. Water the plant thoroughly and every 1 to 3 days thereafter depending on the season. Do not soak! Remember moist soil, not wet, not dry.



All our seeds are carefully selected from reputable seed merchants, and are Fera controlled ,seeds are packed in plastic ziploc bags then we package all our seeds in  padded jiffy bags for added protection.


All growing instructions are on the listing, as most seeds need little or no instructions we dont print out sowing instructions 

Seeds are a living product that rely on many impotant factors including the growers own skills,planting time,seed depth,type of soil, weather etc etc

Once you have received your seeds its over to you,,we cannot be held responsible after this point as we have no control over the growing conditions
