Musa 'Parthens Red'?
 

Has anyone heard of this one. They just started selling this one at a local nursery, along with Musa textilis. They keep seeming to order less than hardy bananas since the wholesellers label every banana to zone 8, which in my climate doesn't always work out the best for wimpy bananas.
Maybe this is new to tissue culture, and it said on the label that it was an ornamental banana.

I had one of these two years ago when they came out. I contacted David Constantine and asked him and he replyed that it was the first he heard of it.
I lost it during the winter. I think its now what they are calling Basjoo Rubra.
