Musa 'Siam Ruby' has leaves that are red with a hint of bronze and highlights of chartreuse green flecks. The young plant is bright green and starts to develop the red color as it matures, usually by the time it is 12" tall. More sunlight will bring out brighter, stronger red color and deeper contrast with the occasional green variegation. 'Siam Ruby' adds dramatic color to a mixed combo and also works great on its own.
