£9.99

Matt James, The City Gardener' says this about Ensete ventricosum Maurellii

"I love this plant so much because it's so much fun, and grows so big in one year!  Turn your garden into a funky jungle. Ensete ventricosum Maurelii is actually an old Victorian plant brought back to life, although it won't grow any real bananas.  Responds really well to watering and tomato feed, so to keep it shorter, treat it mean. It can reach 2m tall in one season so choose your pot right!  Red colour best in shade, but loves it hot. The only problem is that it needs to have winter protection in a conservatory or similar. You can cut it back in the autumn before frosts and it will shoot from the base next season. Try one out - you won't regret it"

Ensete ventricosum Maurellii is best grown in slight shade and well drained compost or soil. Young plants in 1.5 litre pots, supplied height and spread approx. 25cm excluding pot.  Normally shipped same day for next day delivery if ordered by 12 noon, Mon - Thurs.
