Eucomis bicolor Pineapple Lily Bulbs

Royal Horticultural Society Award of Garden Merit

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.
