| I grow the usual M basjoo, M sikkimensis, M lasiocarpa, Ensete ventricosum and 'Maurelii' (spelling?), but no variegated ones. I don't think I've seen any for sale in the UK; where can you get hold of them? |

| Every so often someone e.g tropicals e-shop sells some variegated ones, but they are quite rare, so quite costly. They are easier to get from the US, but must be imported bare root, but do survive the journey. I have M Basjoo, M Sikkimensis, M lasiocarpa and Ensete Venticosum "Maurelii" too. Currently I have no variegated ones, but was thinking of getting one. |
