Musa Velutina makes a fabulous talking point to impress friends, relatives and neighbours! It  is easy to grow and produce fruit - beautiful vertically held pink bananas.

Musa Velutina is not fully hardy but can easily be grown in a container either placed outside during the warmer months or in a conservatory or bright room year round.  The plant readily produces small bananas about 8cm long that are very sweet tasting.

Please note that banana plants are not frost hardy and they should be kept in greenhouses or conservatories until frost risk is passed.

Germination Guide

• Soak seeds in warm water for 24 hours
• Prepare a tray of well draining compost mix - ideally 50/50 mix of potting compost and vermiculite 
• Sow seeds individually 2.5cm approx deep and cover them with the surrounding soil.
• Ensure compost moist but not saturated
• Loosely cover with a clear plastic bag to aid humidity
• Place in a warm place (ideally 15-18c) our of direct sunlight
• Dont worry if temperature falls at night eg if your heating goes off/down as this actually promotes banana seed germination
• Germination can be erratic - some seedlings may emerge from 2/3 weeks but others may take longer
• Pot on to individual pots once large enough to handle
