It would really benefit you if you knew exactly what specie it was you have bought. The term 'banana plant' is now being used to cover many plants in genus Musa. All are bananas but their ability to overwinter successfully, or thrive during a British summer, varies considerably. What are you hoping  to do with this plant? Certainly don't expect to pick any fruit!
