∗Top Banana (Unknown)
Some Shade Low 3' Late April Bright Yellow 0°F.
Hotei may have been used as one of the parents in this plant, as the
bloom color is the same, along with leaf size and shape. The two major
differences are the time of bloom (late April) and the fact that this plant
buds young, whereas Hotei buds as a 6 to 8 year-old. It is also more
upright in plant structure. Holds leaves for 2 years. Good drainage is
absolutely essential. (Whitney, Sather 1976) 6”- 8” thru 12”- 15”

Another very unusual plant that displays a bounty of strap-like medium
green leaves that blanket this rounded, well-branching plant. Small ballshaped

‘Graziella’. (McMurry 1978) 8”- 10” thru 15”- 18”
