We divide banana plants into two categories: those that produce edible, seedless bananas and others that produce non-edible, seeded bananas, also known as ornamental bananas.
Ornamental bananas contain hard, pea-sized seeds. Some varieties are OK to eat, but you'll never be able to sink your teeth into them like your grocery store varieties.
The banana plant species that produce the bananas you can find at most grocery stores are the Dwarf Cavendish and Gran Nain varieties.
There are many varieties that produce edible bananas with diverse flavors, sizes and textures, including Dwarf Orinoco, Blue Java (Ice Cream), Goldfinger, Sweetheart, Popoulu (Red Trunk), Dwarf Namwa (Pisang Awak), Tropicana, Veinte Cohol, Truly Tiny and so forth.
Ornamental bananas that Wellspring Gardens sells, include:

We send banana plants while they're still babies, but they have enormous potential.
Wellspring Gardens is the starter plant, AKA “baby plant” shop. We just get you started, so you get all the credit for raising your plants under your green thumb.
We aim to ship your plants when they’re 3-8” tall, though we often ship them taller than that.
The exact size of the plant we send you is variable on the time of year and how long we've been growing it out.
Wellpring Gardens uses a 4-point packaging process to help your plants arrive happy and healthy.
Most packages will fit inside your mailbox, so keep an eye on the tracking number and retrieve them as soon as possible.
Upon arrival, you'll need to:
Basic plant care instructions are included with every single plant.
Additional care information specific to the variety you ordered can be accessed digitally.
We ensure your plants arrive alive.
A reality of mailing live plants is they can get stressed being sent through the mail, but they bounce back quickly.
Wellspring Gardens' Banana Fuel Fertilizer isn't just any fertilizer – it's a custom blend designed specifically for your baby banana plants. Our formula includes a balanced ratio of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K), the three primary macronutrients that plants need to thrive. But that's not all.
Banana Fuel also contains essential intermediate nutrients like calcium, magnesium, and sulfur, as well as a host of micronutrients. Together, these elements work to stimulate strong and healthy growth, helping your baby banana plant reach its full potential.
Moreover, plants also need carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, which they naturally get from air and water. When combined with optimal sunlight and watering practices, Banana Fuel offers the ideal nutrition profile for your banana plants.
