GOLDEN LOTUS BANANA CARE

The Golden Lotus prefers full sun to partial shade and does best in a variety of soils as long as they are well-drained soils. It requires regular watering for consistent moist soil and will begin to bloom in mid-spring, often continuing to bloom until frost.

Grows best in USDA plant hardiness zones 7-10 and prefers a warmer climate. Cannot handle cold winter freezes and older leaves may die back if temperatures drop too low. Simply spread a layer mulch for your banana plant if this happens and wait until spring for its giant stalks to branch out with their yellow bracts.

Cut the stalks at ground level if vegetation is damaged from the cold. This Chinese dwarf banana plant grows best frost free and has low cold hardiness.

A wonderful dwarf banana species to add to your collection. The yellow flowers will leave your landscape looking lush. Shop our Golden Lotus Banana plant for sale.
