Hey guys. I am looking for an flowering ornamental variety to grow from seed but I would like it to be short as possible; similar to the size of Super Dwarf Cavendish if such variety exist. Any suggestion?

Musa Velutina, Musa Manii, Musa Beckarii (sp?), Musa Ornata any of these should fit your requirements.

Good list, James! I need to get some seeds of these when I have a chance.

It is possibly a hybrid with M. sanguinea, but really not much is known about its origins. From what I have observed it is completely sterile both female and male.

Velutina is short at 6 feet overall height.

My Ornata Royal Purple has flowered at 4.5 feet overall height, but it is a newly transplant.
