My bananas are in black landscape containers and my companion plant of choice is Oxalis aka Shamrock.
It comes in two leaf colors green and purple has nice flowers and is edible.
The plant does a good job of hiding the containers
It is an inexpensive fast grower, does not seem to compete with the banana and goes DORMANT when I overwinter them and the root is very resilient.
