Sorry to ask this question without sounding stupid .Is Zebrina the same plant as Sumatrana. I ask because i have seen pictures and they both look similar.I am already growing Zebrina and I didn't want to waste my money on sumatrana seeds if they are one and the same.

Yep
Musa acuminata var. sumatrana
aka
Zebrina
aka
Blood Banana

If you already have it, try the Bordelon, it looks similar but gets taller.
