Hardy Banana vs Canada Red Rhubarb

The Canada Red Rhubarb is a perennial vegetable grown primarily for its sweet-tart edible leaf stalks that are commonly used in jams, sauces and pies. This plant develops from a short crown, growing thick stems with large heart-shaped leaves that retain their green color throughout the season. In summer, white flowers appear above the green foliage.

The Canada Red Rhubarb typically grows shorter, more slender stalks that feature a striking red color with a sweeter flavor than other cultivars. For a more reliable crop, it is recommended not to harvest the Canada Red Rhubarb in its first year of growth to allow its root system to establish.

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.
