Musa Bajoo is a great hardy banana that reproduces quickly. It is probably the most common banana tree grown in Texas. Cannas and hardy hibiscus are good choices also. All of these will freeze back in the winter but with proper mulching and cutting back, they should sprout back in the spring. Golden Bamboo is very hardy and prolific but will overtake a garden area very quickly if not contained.
