Ensete ventricosum

Ensete ventricosum is a large banana tree cousin that can grow a massive base sometimes several feet wide and large green banana leaves will grow upright outward. One of the more ornamental aspects is the large red mid-veins that run down the leaves on top and bottom. It makes for a great center piece plant for tropical display or for a very large container. After 2 to 3 years once the plant is mature it can produce a very large dark red stark shape flower over 1 foot across. The plant is worth growing for the dramatic effect alone but the flower is something to behold. Plants in 4 1/2 inch pots.
