Gros Michel "Big Mike" Banana - Musa
Wellspring Premium Series ㅤ| ㅤ1-QUART POTTED PLANT
Gros Michel used to be the banana of choice for grocery stores until disease wiped out commercial production in the 1950s and the Dwarf Cavendish stole its throne. Gros Michel or "Big Mike" went from being the #1 banana consumed to a rare, specialty banana that you can't get unless you grow it yourself...That is, if you can find this rare, collectible banana. Now's your chance to grow your own iconic heirloom. Plant it in your garden along with the Dwarf Cavendish and see what we're all missing out on at the supermarket.

We're expanding our product lineup with plants that need more space than our classic starter pot allows.
Premium Plants come in a 1-quart pot and Supreme Plants come in a 1-gallon pot.
New Premium & Supreme Plants will release each Friday.
Your plants are packed with the utmost care, but shipping can be stressful on the little guys.
That's why you have 30 days from the arrival date to experiment with them. If they don't bounce back, you're eligible for a refund.
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.
