Ornamental banana?

Hi there,

I saw a beautiful banana @ Armstrong GC yesterday, it had green leaves with dark red/maroon splotches on all the leaves, very narrow stems. I think they were selling it as a houseplant...I'm new to bananas, any ideas on ID, and what conditions it likes? I'm tempted to buy one for my patio in southern Cali, but if it gets huge or can't take cold, it's a no-go.

Thanks for your help

P.S.

Any suggestions for a small, ornamental banana that does well in SOuthern Cali appreciated.
