Ensete ventricosum Maurelii Plants – 5 Pack - 5cm Plug Plants – FREE P&P

Ensete ventricosum ‘Maurelii’ is a dramatic, fast‑growing tropical plant often called the Red Banana for its bold, architectural presence and large waxy fronds. Young leaves begin green and gradually deepen into rich burgundy‑purple tones as the plant matures, creating a striking focal point in exotic borders, large patio pots or indoor conservatories.

These 5 × 5cm garden‑ready plug plants are strong and healthy, ready to plant out in summer or pot on until conditions warm up.

This is the perfect plant for gardeners wanting that immediate tropical impact — even a single specimen can transform a patio, and a group of five looks spectacular.
