Very interesting progeny. Both are doing well in my area (zone 8), especially Saba that seems to entertain low light too.
Please keep us posted if you grow them.

I looked at the seller's feedbacks and there were at least two buyers in June and July. They were sold at 4 for $40 before this one.

I thought it might be so I emailed the seller, and she said "20 below freezing. So like 0 degrees would be fine. We have these temps here in Ga.":-)

Re: Musa California Cold Hardy

I agree with harveyc on potting it during winter. My Ca Gold didn't survive outside last winter in zone 8 where I live (although we had a severe winter last year).

Re: Plant world seeds website

Thanks for your advice and comments. I kind of thought it doesn't have seeds.
By the way how about a hybrid between sikkimensis and Chini champa. Is it hardy/attractive?
