Musa sikkimensis Ever Red Purple/Lavender Foliage Plants from our friend and plantMusa sikkimensis 'Ever Red' is an exciting new clonal selection of the hardy Sikkim banana, with dramatic, irregularly streaked, red purple foliage, radiating out from the 14' tall, football lineman sized trunk. Despite on line, fake news reports of winter hardiness in Zone 5, it's only possible for it to survive 15 to 20F in the ground, if you build a greenhouse around it.
