Musa Velutina makes a fabulous talking point to impress friends, relatives and neighbours! It  is easy to grow and produce fruit - beautiful vertically held pink bananas.

Musa Velutina is not fully hardy but can easily be grown in a container either placed outside during the warmer months or in a conservatory or bright room year round.  The plant readily produces small bananas about 8cm long that are very sweet tasting.

Please note that banana plants are not frost hardy and they should be kept in greenhouses or conservatories until frost risk is passed.

Germination Guide

  • Soak seeds in warm water for 24 hours
  • Prepare a tray of well draining compost mix - ideally 50/50 mix of potting compost and vermiculite 
  • Sow seeds individually 2.5cm approx deep and cover them with the surrounding soil.
  • Ensure compost moist but not saturated
  • Loosely cover with a clear plastic bag to aid humidity
  • Place in a warm place (ideally 15-18c) our of direct sunlight
  • Dont worry if temperature falls at night eg if your heating goes off/down as this actually promotes banana seed germination
  • Germination can be erratic - some seedlings may emerge from 2/3 weeks but others may take longer
  • Pot on to individual pots once large enough to handle
Over Wintering Guide Build up more loose soil over the roots and at the base of the trunk then add dry mulch. Wrap the trunk in multiple layers of horticultural fleece with a few old leaves in between to try to minimise contact between wet fleece and the trunk

Olly's General Guide to Seed Sowing! I love sowing seeds and it runs in the family - dad, granddad and finally my great-granddad for whom the hobby helped him get over his experiences in the Great War. I still get a big kick when I see the first seedling poking through from a new plant that I have never sown before or been successful at. However, even the most experienced gardeners draw "blanks" from time to time. Whilst I sow all the seeds that I sell so I know that they are viable, some are trickier than others and problems can arise so here are some tips to make "blanks" few and far between: 1 ) Dont Rush!  Tempting though it is when that packet arrives in the post to simply bung the seeds in some compost! 2) Google and Youtube are your friends!  Take some time so see the methods other people use to germinate the seed.  3)  Think Nature!  What conditions do seeds face? For example a seed from a tropical plant will fall to the warm, wet and dark jungle floor. A seed from the mountains of Europe will fall to the floor in Autumn, then have to endure months of freezing temperatures before germinating in the spring. So as growers, what we are trying to do is to simulate the conditions that the seeds will naturally experience and there are plenty of tricks that can be done to short cut the processes somewhat. 4) Good compost pays dividends  . The best investment you can make is to purchase three bags - one of potting compost, one of vermiculite and one of horticultural sand. With these three bags I can make up whatever soil type a particular seed likes (although for most seeds I find a 50/50 mix of compost and vermiculite works just fine)  5) Rot is your enemy . The single biggest danger to seed germination is rot - either before or after "damping off" the seeds germinate. To reduce the risk, ensure you have good free draining soil mix and that it is moist but not wet. Unless the seed variety absolutely requires it I prefer NOT to cover my seeds trays with plastic bags, Whilst germination is often faster this way, it greatly increases the risk of rot. I prefer to place my seed trans inside a watertight plastic tray and water from the bottom - airflow over the surface reduces the risk.
