South African Garden Plant
CREATING Exotic spaces
The pineapple lily are bulbous perennials with basal rosettes of leaves with stout stems covered in star-shaped flowers with a tuft of green bracts at the top, superficially resembling a pineapple – hence the common name.
Eucomis species are cultivated as ornamental plants. Most of the summer-flowering species will tolerate frost when dormant in winter, provided they are kept dry. They flower best if given both sun exposure and moisture in summer.
