Eucomis

More Information About Eucomis

Since we began growing eucomis (pineapple lilies) in the early 1980s, we have found them to be easy, reliable, and fun garden perennials. We continue to evaluate most of the 10 pineapple lily species from South Africa along with new Eucomis hybrids from breeders around the world for their uniqueness and garden worthiness. The first plant we introduced was a popular selection we named Eucomis 'Sparkling Burgundy'. We hope you enjoy our ever-increasing pineapple lily offerings, many of which were bred for the cut flower market.

Pineapple Lily prefers a sunny site and is tolerant of a wide range of soil moisture conditions except for waterlogged soils. Eucomis' pineapple-looking flowers are striking and produced in the summer when they can be enjoyed in the garden or indoors as a long lasting cut flower...plus they attract butterflies. Eucomis flower clusters look like a much larger version of their botanical cousin, the hyacinth.
