I know here in zone 6 some people plant cannas and musa basjoo bananas next to the foundation of their house and they have came back next spring with no mulch. But each yard and house is different. Some might have a micro climate in their yard. I will not take the chance. I will mulch. I had 2 days last winter of minus 13*F and I don't think my musa basjoo's would have lived without their mulch.
