The Snow Banana is found in the high mountainous regions of China and Nepal up to 1,100 meters, and in southern China to 2,700 meters. It grows to 17 and produces a massive pendant white flowerhead. Only a photo can do this flowerhead justice. Numerous 5" fruits develop within the flowerhead, laden with black marble size seeds. The pseudostem (trunk) and the leaves are covered with a glaucous, grey-green wax, with a coloration that is "bluish". Ideal for zones 7 to 10. There are 7 seeds in this packet size. We suggest soaking the seeds for 3 days. Plant in a well draining soil mixture and at a temperature over 75 degrees F. Keep lightly moist and in bright light. Germination can take 4-8 weeks. Once germinated fertilize lightly with each watering. Be very careful to not keep soil wet. Avoid dry air.
