Add these dramatic new banana trees to your garden and enjoy a show of strong and impressive leaves.
Also known as Musa sikkimensis, these plants boast large, ribbed, paddle-like leaves in a superb dark green shade, streaked with stripes of maroon red.
‘Ever Red’ is the perfect centrepiece for a tropical planting scheme, and when mature will form an impressive, wooded stem.
The thick and strong leaves are thankfully windproof and more colourful and hardy than those seen on other varieties of banana tree.
For best results, these plants will truly thrive when placed in mild areas, and offered some protection, while ‘Ever Red’ will also perform well in containers, making it easy to move around and into a frost-protected area for the cold winter.
Supplied as three established plants in 9cm pots, ready for planting.

Please allow us 7-10 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.
Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.
We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.
Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.
Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.
Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
