Erlend, according to the blurb on RPS's website, it is very similar to E. glaucum. I don't know what the differences are, besides E. perrieri having yellow midribs. Guess I'll have to grow it to find out!

Dutchman, I've germinated Ensete ventricosum and E. glaucum with fluctuating temps. Not by design, but they were just set in the greenhouse like I did with these new seeds. You don't have to have fluctuating temps for Ensete sp., but it doesn't hinder them from sprouting.
