Hardy Banana
Flame Amur Maple

The Hardy Banana is a fast-growing evergreen perennial that dies down to the ground each year. A stunning tropical-looking accent for your yard and patio, the Japanese Fiber Banana can be overwintered outdoors in several northern U.S. states and southern Canadian regions. In northern regions, you can bring this plant inside and leave it in your garage. If you enjoy Mexican cuisine, you can use the leaves to make tamales.

A selection of the Amur Maple, the Flame Amur Maple has a brilliant red fall color. The leaves emerge bright green and turn a fiery red in autumn. The seeds on the Flame Amur maple are also a pleasant red color, adding color interest to your yard or garden.
