Musa Zebrina 2 Live Starter Plants – Blood Banana 2” Size Bare Root

This listing includes 2 Musa zebrina live starter plants grown in 2-inch nursery pots. Commonly known as the Blood Banana or Red-Striped Banana, Musa zebrina is a tropical ornamental banana plant valued for its distinctive foliage. You will receive plants similar to the one pictured, rather than the exact photographed specimens.

Musa zebrina is recognized for its broad green leaves with reddish-purple markings that can resemble irregular stripes or patches. The intensity and distribution of these markings vary with leaf age, growing conditions, and individual plants. Young starter plants may display less developed coloration than established specimens.

This tropical perennial has an upright, clump-forming growth habit with leaves emerging from a pseudostem. It is suitable for tropical garden settings and large containers where temperatures remain warm. It generally prefers bright light, fertile, well-draining soil, and consistent moisture.

The final Shipping Notice confirms that plants are shipped bare root without nursery pots. This takes precedence over the earlier statement indicating shipment in a 2-inch pot.

The 2-inch measurement refers to the nursery pot size used during cultivation, not an included pot or a guaranteed plant height.

Plant Condition Disclosure:

Live plants may be shipped dormant, leafless, recently pruned, bare root, or partially defoliated depending on season, weather, and shipping requirements.

Natural variation in size, branching, foliage density, color, root structure, and overall appearance should be expected.

Important Note:

You will receive a live starter plant (seedling/young plant). Listing photos show the plant at a mature stage for reference only. The actual plant size, shape, and appearance may vary and will be significantly smaller than the images shown.

Customer Notice:

Live plants may experience normal shipping stress such as leaf loss, yellowing, wilting, or minor branch damage.

Please consider local weather before purchasing. Extreme heat, freezing temperatures, severe weather, shipping delays, or unattended packages may increase plant stress.

If there is an issue with your order, contact us within 48 hours of delivery and provide:
