Keep your eye on Lowes...
They will usually tuck the bananas in with the larger leafed plants like Cannas.
Locally at Lowes I also found Ensete Maurellii, Dwarf Cavendish and Basjoo.

These are very common and only the Cavendish will give you edible fruit.
Hopefully yours might have them this year.

The further south you go the more prevalent they are at all the stores and pretty much the same limited selection.
