Musa ‘Margarita’ is a striking ornamental banana plant prized for its bold, chartreuse to lime-green foliage that adds a tropical flair to gardens and containers. A cultivar of the banana family, this fast-growing, herbaceous perennial reaches 6 to 8 feet tall in ideal conditions, forming a lush clump of upright leaves that can measure several feet long. Its brilliant foliage color intensifies in full sun, making it a standout feature in tropical-themed or modern garden designs.

While Musa ‘Margarita’ is primarily grown for its foliage, it may produce small, inedible bananas in warmer climates. It thrives in rich, well-drained soil with consistent moisture and prefers a sunny to partially shaded location. Though not frost-tolerant, it can be overwintered indoors in colder climates or treated as an annual. Its bold texture and color pair well with dark-leaved plants or bright blooms for dramatic contrast.
