Musa sikkimensis, commonly known as the Darjeeling Banana, is a striking and hardy banana species native to the Himalayan region. Known for its bold, paddle-shaped leaves—often streaked with red or purple—it brings a lush, tropical look to gardens in both warm and temperate climates. Unlike many bananas, Musa sikkimensis can tolerate cooler temperatures and brief frosts, making it one of the most cold-hardy ornamental bananas available. Though it rarely bears edible fruit outside its native habitat, it’s highly valued for its dramatic foliage and fast growth, perfect for creating an exotic garden atmosphere.
