It is native to central and southern Mexico, Central America, and tropical South America as far south as Ecuador, and it has been introduced to Hawai'i and Puerto Rico. A rhizomatous perennial, its banana-like leaves reaching to 3 m (10 ft), it is typically found in wet tropical areas. It has found use as an ornamental.
