Musella lasiocarpa, also known as Chinese dwarf banana or golden lotus banana, is a species of flowering plant in the banana family Musaceae. It is native to the mountains of south-central China, where it grows in damp, shady areas.
Musella lasiocarpa is a small, clump-forming plant that typically reaches heights of 2-3 feet (0.6-0.9 meters). It has large, paddle-shaped leaves that can grow up to 18 inches (45 cm) long and 12 inches (30 cm) wide. The plant produces yellow flowers that are held on a cone-shaped stalk, which is surrounded by brightly colored, petal-like bracts that give the plant a lotus-like appearance.
In cultivation, Musella lasiocarpa is prized for its ornamental value and exotic appearance. It is grown for its attractive foliage and striking flowers, which make it a popular choice for gardens and landscapes. It prefers a rich, well-draining soil and regular watering to thrive.
Musella lasiocarpa is a cold-hardy plant that can tolerate temperatures down to -10 degrees Fahrenheit (-23 degrees Celsius) when grown in a protected location. It is not a true banana plant and does not produce edible fruit, but it is a unique and eye-catching addition to any garden.
