Maybe Musa 'Ice Cream' (Blue Java) is what you would like. Although the leaves are solid gree I think, only the P-stem and petioles have different color.

Dunno, I don't have either, Musella nor Ice Cream.
Look in the wiki. There are quite nicely shot pictures.

My Burmese Blue has developed bluish /purple petioles. I'll try and post a pic in the next few days. I won't be around till Sunday.

Jazz, are you after a plant that has blueish leaves or do you already have one and want to know what it could be?

If you are after one, Try looking for Ensete Glaucum ( sometimes known as Snow Banana) They have a blueish hue to them. Ebay is usually a good place to look for seeds.

Hope that helps

M. itenerans may be a good choice as well.
Musella lasiocarpa really looks blue when grown beside greener musa.

It's not a Musa but my Ensete superbum in the yard looks blueish when compared to the other Bananas.

hi scott

this is the snow banana is it not?,cool photo,great colour on stem and leaves thanks for putting a photo on the org

Lagniappe · 06-19-2009, 03:04 PM

I believe the Ensete glaucum is called 'snow banana' by some. Here's a pic of min. It didn't get to be as full as normal this year. I've had this one for 3-4 years now. Now that it's blooming,I'll need to find a replacement.

scottdurand · 06-19-2009, 03:24 PM

Please shoot some pics of the bloom. Hope you get to harvest some fresh seeds from it.

damaclese · 06-19-2009, 03:30 PM

i am growing the Ice cream (Blue Java) i wouldn't say its that blue except when young as they age they tend to be just vary blue green to me with that waxy bloom on the P-stem and pedeals my Dwarf Brazilian looks allot bluer but not that blue now that i think of it
