Eucomis 'Freckles' PP22769 plant details

All Eucomis are fetching with curious pineapple-y flowers and strappy rosettes of leaves. This particular Eucomis is special for its freckled ruffle-edged foliage, which isn't just cute, but this mini version is sturdier and more compact than typical Eucomis, so it's not as prone to getting floppy. Flowers are dark, reddish, and sqattty with strong pineapple vibes.

Eucomis 'Freckles' PP22769 is a broadleaf deciduous perennial bulb / corm / tuber with green, purple and variegated foliage. In fall and summer pink flowers emerge. Features glossy texture. Attracts bees and hummingbirds making it an excellent addition to pollinator gardens. Grows well with sun - mostly sun and even moisture - regular water. Prefers to be dry when dormant. Does well in average, gritty, rich and well-drained soil. A good option if you're seeking something verticillium wilt resistant.

Clumping, freckled foliage topped by dramatic rose-red flowers (that look like a pineapple... sort of!) make this dwarf (10" t x 14" w) ?lily? an eye-catcher in a container or front of the border. S-PSh/M PPAF PVR

A far cry from those giant clumps of widestrappy leaves taking up WAY too much space... this little mini is only 10”talland 14” wide! The leaves are narrow andheavily spotted giving it an exotic vibe! Short spikes of purple flowers in July are a nice finisher. Sun to part shade, decent garden soil,regular water (takes some drought when established). It’s just cool!
