10 Pink Velvet Banana Seeds

Musa Velutina, also known as the Pink Velvet Banana, is a rare and mystical banana tree that is sure to become a favorite in your summer garden. With a maximum height of only 3 feet, this hardy plant produces abundant flower stalks in late summer that give way to clusters of small, attractive pink velvet bananas. These bananas are easy to peel and have a cinnamon scent, making them a unique and exotic addition to any garden.

Musa Velutina is winter-hardy once established, but until then, a cage of shredded leaves around the trunk during winter months can protect it. It can be grown as a perennial in zones 7b-10 or in a greenhouse during the winter. It thrives in full sun to partial shade.

While the flesh of the fruit is edible, the numerous large and small seeds are not, which makes consumption virtually impossible. Nevertheless, the pink color and striking appearance of this banana tree will add a touch of excitement to any garden.
