Pink Banana Musa velutina 20 Seeds

Musa velutina, commonly called the pink banana or hairy banana, is a compact and highly ornamental member of the banana family native to Southeast Asia, particularly India and surrounding regions. Unlike commercial bananas, this species typically grows only 3–5 feet tall, making it popular for tropical gardens and container culture. It features large, lush, paddle-shaped leaves with a striking midrib, creating a bold, tropical presence even in small spaces. The plant’s most captivating feature is its vibrant pink to rose-colored fruit, which appears in upright clusters above the foliage and is covered in a soft fuzzy texture—often splitting open on the plant to reveal creamy white flesh and rows of large, black seeds. The fruits are technically edible but filled with hard seeds, so they are appreciated mostly for their ornamental appeal rather than culinary value. Its flowering and fruiting can occur year-round in warm climates, as the plant produces showy, long-lasting inflorescences with bright pink bracts enveloping yellowish flowers that attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies. Musa velutina thrives in warm, humid environments with well-drained, fertile soil and consistent moisture, though it can tolerate brief cool periods; in temperate regions, it is typically grown as a potted plant and overwintered indoors. prized for its compact size, vivid tropical aesthetics, and unique fruit display, Musa velutina brings an exotic flair to landscapes, patios, and indoor garden collections.
