Nursery contributed plant descriptions

From a South African native. Striking white to pale pink, “pineapple”-like flowers on purple tinted stems show off from August to September above rosettes of long, narrow, “tropical” leaves. Bright light, full sun to part shade with water in spring during growth and protection from excess winter water, perhaps by an overhang. Frost hardy to 0F, USDA zone 7; lower with mulch. Can be grown in pots or lifted for the winter.

Starry cream-white flowers bloom in late spring, early summer from strappy green leaves. As with all Eucomis they have a long vase life as a cut flower.
