Default My Musa 'Red Iholena'

After giving me serious trouble the first winter I got it and me trying my best to keep it alive due to its sheer beauty,its pseudostem weaked and broke close to the ground by that spring but from then on,it started growing vigorously and was strong by summer and biggish by winter. I then moved it to Pyrgos where it spent its years potted till last weekend,when I decided to ground plant it thanks to some really good characteristics it showed last winter like fast growth and recovery in cool weather,growing new leafs inbetween the few frost events Pyrgos gets faster than all my other varieties,great look and growth in shade,awesome color and good cold hardiness. So,here it is in the ground,at the same spot it grew potted all summer!




Looking forward to see it grow big soon!!!
