The listing, Musella lasiocarpa 'Golden Lotus Banana' Banana ~ Rare Seeds! Extinct in the Wild! has ended.
5 Seeds
One of the rarest seeds on earth. musella lasiocarpa. extinct in the wild and worshipped by the buddhist monks in china.
Winter hardy to USDA Zones 7-10 where it can be grown outside year round. A thick winter mulch over the root area is recommended near the northern edge of its growing range. Grown in organically rich, medium moisture, well-drained soil in full sun. Plants tolerate and often appreciate some part shade or light filtered sun in the heat of the day. Best growth occurs with consistently moist soils that do not dry out. For areas north of USDA Zone 7, plants are best grown in containers using a well-drained potting soil mix. Soils should be kept consistently moist but not wet.
Gardeners grow this plant primarily for its flowers and to a lesser extent for its foliage, both of which lend an exotic and tropical aura to the landscape. Flowers bloom throughout the summer. Each upright inflorescence consists of a cluster of yellow tubular flowers subtended by broad, stiff, waxy, yellow bracts. Flowers resemble a lotus just prior to flowering, hence the common name of golden lotus banana. Flowers usually first appear in the second year of growth and annually thereafter. Each inflorescence will last for several months (up to as long as 6 months).
