Overview

Flowering banana (Musa ornata) is a perennial herbaceous plant. Its large leaves form an attractive canopy that provides shade from the hot sun. It produces clusters of yellow and orange flowers at the same time as edible fruit. The leaves and flowers are used as decorative materials in landscaping. The bark from the stem is also processed to make paper and rope. The fruit of the flowering banana can be cooked and eaten raw, or the banana-flavored parts can be made into juice or wine. The plant is easy to care for and can grow in most tropical climates. With its bright colors and edible treats, the flowering banana adds charm to any garden.
