Eucomis
Pineapple Lily
A phenomenal display from a wondrous bulb, Eucomis belongs to the Lily family and calls tropical southern Africa its home. While its bold architectural lines beg a prominent spot in the ground or in a container, Pineapple Lily prefers warm, sunny nooks with mulched, well drained soil, and protection from excessive winter cold and moisture.
Eucomis comosa ‘Innocence’ (P-2339)
Each 13.00
Initially intended for the cut-flower market, this remarkable bulbous perennial was raised by American Eucomis enthusiast Eddie Welsh. Extravagant, tall pineapple-esque spires of waxy, star-like pink-eyed white flowers surmount stout, straight maroon-flecked green stalks, beckoning butterflies, hummingbirds and other pollinators. In need of good drainage, especially where winters are wet, easily grown ‘Innocence’s large, upright and fleshy strapping green rosette hosts plum-hued dashes on the flip sides, braves deer and rabbits plus imparts untold panache to rockeries, containers, mixed borders and tropical-themed beds. Apply mulch or lift and bring indoors in cold-weather locales.
