The Eucomis is a fascinating South African specimen, with a topknot of leaves above the robust column of flowers - giving it the nickname Pineapple Lily or Pineapple Flower. Broad yellow-green leaves fit for a jungle act as a framing surround, for hundreds of waxy 1-inch star-shaped flowers. The Eucomis favours a sunny position with well-drained soil, just like it would be used to in the wild. Try planting with Calla Lilies and Chincherinchees to emanate the tropics, or maybe plant with Dianthus Haytor White, with brightly coloured Salvia as a backdrop for a less extravagant display. Top quality bulbs supplied. Flowers August to November. Height 40cm.
