Golden Lotus Banana (Musella lasiocarpa)
Considered to be one of southern China’s most sacred flowers,
Golden Lotus Banana is actually a flowering shrub-like banana relative. It
doesn’t produce edible fruit but the large sunny yellow flower that blooms in
the summer and lasts for months is spectacular. It makes quite a conversation
piece for gardeners. Because of its mountain habitat origins, it’s hardy to
zone 7 and may survive in zone 6 with a thick layer of mulch. Grow in fertile
soil in full sun. Golden Lotus Banana also makes an ideal container plant for
northern gardeners.
