I was in canadian tire looking for seeds for my yard, and i found pakages of musa ensete ( which i found out is the albyssian banana ). Now reading the pack, they say they get only 5 feet, and im assuming thats with normal poor indor conditions. Now in regarts to that, what would be the best way to grow it inside my house?? In my area of the country, besides ordering online, there are no banana plants for sale in my city, ive tried to look, and the closest thing i could find are these ( i was hoping a musa acuminata, or even a basjoo).

Now that being said, I would like to try tro grow one outdoors, at least fo the summer. I am just waiting for the seeds to germinate. What would be the best location outdoors for this plant, even as an annual. Also, germinating instrctions on the pack are vague, and all the info ive foundonline is a bit scetchy, and once again vague. So any info on germinating them would be great.

THanks ( thank god its almost summer)
