How to grow hardy banana

When to plant hardy banana

Plant or set out the hardy banana in spring after the last frost, in a sheltered spot with consistently moist soil. In zones 5 to 8 the top dies back each winter; cut the stems to about 2 feet after frost and mulch heavily so the cold-hardy rhizome regrows from the base in spring.

Hardy Banana is timed by season rather than your frost dates, so the planting calendar does not generate ZIP-specific dates for it. Check the cited sources below to fine-tune for your area.
