Sorry I live in the Midwest, indianA the plants I bought from Menards they did not have any tags or labels they are in pots and I did transfer them into slightly bigger pots few weeks ago. I plan to put them indoors during winter.

My first guess is Musa Basjoo.
When young and small the plant will have a translucent red/burgundy tinge on the underside of the leaf and a slight reddish petiole.
The coloration will disappear when the plant matures.
You could do a Menards web search for that store and see what they had in stock for the summer.
My second guess is an Ensete Maurallii.

Can you post a photo of the whole plant in the pot so we can its overall stature?
