Eucomis

Embrace the enchantment of late summer with Eucomis, also known as pineapple lilies! These South African bulbs earn their delightful moniker from the tuft of leaves crowning the spike of their abundant flowers, resembling the iconic fruit.

Despite their origins in South Africa, these exquisite bulbous perennials prove surprisingly hardy, adding a touch of exotic flair to any garden. Don't be discouraged if they take a season to settle in—these resilient plants often reward patience with an explosion of blooms in subsequent years.

From pristine whites to creamy yellows and deep purples, their flower palette knows no bounds, while their foliage delights with shades of green, purple, or even a whimsical mix of stripes and spots.
