I was given this Banana Plant yesterday. I would like to identify it and find out what its Hardiness is.

I suspect it would not survive Indiana winters. :(

Looks like a zebrina, check the wiki for hardiness, I have two here in N. Il. that are over wintered indoors and in pots all year round, thus not a lot of growth, but when happy and healthy are quite attractive with the blotches of color on top and the burgundy underside to the leaf. :bananas_b
