The pineapple lily (Eucomis) is a distinctive and exotic perennial with bold, architectural structure. Its pineapple-like flower spikes emerge in late summer, trimmed with starry blooms in shades of green, purple, or pink. Native to South Africa, this hardy bulb offers months of interest with minimal care and is deer-resistant and drought-tolerant once established.
The pineapple lily (Eucomis) is a truly unique addition to the garden, admired for its exotic form and long-lasting blooms. Named for its resemblance to a miniature pineapple, this summer-flowering bulb produces tall, upright stems densely packed with star-shaped flowers. Above the floral spike, a rosette of green bracts adds to its tropical appearance.
Pineapple lilies thrive in well-drained soil and full sun, and so are an excellent choice for sunny borders, rock gardens, and container plantings. These bulbs prefer warm conditions and benefit from a layer of mulch in cooler climates to protect against winter frost. In warmer regions, they naturalize well, returning each year with an increasingly spectacular display.
Pineapple lilies are remarkably low maintenance. Their long-lasting blooms also make excellent cut flowers, adding an exotic touch to indoor arrangements.
Do pineapple lilies need full sun?
Yes, pineapple lilies perform best in full sun but can tolerate partial shade, though flowering may be reduced.
Can pineapple lilies grow in pots?
Absolutely. These bulbs flourish in containers, if they have well-draining soil and ample sunlight.
Are pineapple lilies perennial?
In warmer climates (zones 7-10), they are perennials, returning each year. In colder regions, bulbs should be lifted and stored over winter.
