Chinese Yellow Banana 'Musa lasiocarpa' - Thought to be extinct only a decade ago, this gorgeous banana was found growing in remote regions of the Himalayas in southwest China. This clump-forming banana has dramatic leaves and long-lasting yellow, summer flowers. As the flower develops the original plant will start to die but it will produce off shoots and will continue to thrive in the garden. Although a cold snap will brown the foliage the plant will come back and continue to grow.
