This magnificent banana is for 2023! Musa sikkimensis ‘Ever Red’ boasts giant, paddle-like, deep green leaves with eye-catching ribbing and maroon stripes. Once mature, this fast growing plant will develop and woody stem, creating a striking architectural specimen for an exotic planting scheme. Native to the foothills of the Himalayas, Musa sikkimensis is hardier than Musa basjoo and its thicker, more sturdy leaves show better weather resistance and are more colourful. 'Ever Red' loves a mild environment outside with some protection. Alternatively, grow in a large container and move to a frost-free spot during the coldest months. Height and spread: 3-4m (10-13ft).

Growing Information

In very mild areas, grow Musa sikkimensis in any moist, fertile, well-drained soil in full sun, with shelter from strong winds. Protect the trunk with fleece, straw or hessian over winter. However, even in mild areas, young plants should not be overwintered outdoors. In frost prone areas, Banana plants are best grown in containers of soil-based compost such as John Innes No. 3, which can be moved to a warm, frost-free greenhouse or conservatory in winter.

Live Plants

Suttons strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3.

Non Standard Deliveries

Unfortunately like many companies in our industry we are currently only able to supply orders to UK based customers, excluding those in Northern Ireland. We are committed to finding a way that we can resume or normal services again as soon as possible. Please accept our apologies for any inconvience caused.

Prices include VAT where applicable.

We reserve the right to contact you and advise an additional charge where necessary and are happy to quote for carriage of specific products to more remote areas. Some items may not be available to all areas.

We reserve the right to revise any carriage charges in the event of carrier price increase or other unforeseen circumstances. We will always advise of the carriage charge before payment is taken.

All Suttons products should reach you in perfect condition, just as they left us. If you are dissatisfied in any way with their condition on arrival, please let us know within 14 days.
