Eucomis bicolor, commonly known as pineapple lily, offers a fun and exotic twist for your garden. Reaching 8 to 12 inches tall, its upright, maroon-speckled stems are crowned with dense spikes of pale-green, star-shaped flowers, each outlined in maroon. A leafy rosette tops the bloom, creating a unique pineapple-like effect. The flowers are fragrant, long-lasting, and perfect for cutting, while the broad, wavy leaves at the base add lush texture.

This tender perennial (Zones 7-10) hails from South Africa but can be enjoyed in cooler climates as an annual or by lifting and storing the bulbs over winter. Pineapple lily's tufted growth habit makes it a standout in garden beds, borders, and containers. When planted Zone-appropriately, it spreads slowly, becoming an enduring feature in your landscape.

Simple to care for, pineapple lily thrives in sunny to lightly shaded spots. It requires rich, moist, well-draining soil, regular watering to keep the soil evenly moist, and periodic feeding during the growing season to encourage vibrant blooms.

Plant pineapple lily bulbs in spring after the danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed. Set bulbs 1 inch deep and space them 18 inches apart.
