Ensete Maurelii - Red Abyssinian Banana 1 Starter Plant | Live Tropical Ornamental

Ensete Maurelii, also known as the Red Abyssinian Banana, is a stunning tropical plant prized for its large, paddle-shaped leaves with bold red-tinged edges and deep burgundy undersides. This fast-growing ornamental creates an instant jungle vibe in gardens, patios, or as a dramatic houseplant. It thrives in full sun to partial shade and loves rich, moist, well-draining soil. In USDA zones 9–11, it can be grown as a perennial; in cooler climates, it shines as an annual accent or can be overwintered indoors. Water regularly to keep soil evenly moist, and feed with a balanced fertilizer during the growing season for best color and growth. With minimal care, you’ll enjoy a lush, tropical focal point that reaches 6–10 feet tall in a single season.
