Here's a shortened version from my experiences with cold hardiness of banana species sold as seeds from bananatree.com
M.sikkimensis(zone7)
M.balbisiana(zones 6-9 depending on origin of seed source). I haven't tried the ones from here, but the ones I got from another source are REALLY cold hardy.
M.paradisica(zone 9 at best) Nice looking though.
M.acuminata(possibly zone 8, but definatly more hardy than M.paradisica).
M.violecea(zone 7) It's parents are flaviflora X velutina.
M.velutina (zone7)
M.zebrina (zone 9 at best)
M. coccinea (zone 9 at best)
Good luck!
