Planting & Care

Where to Plant

  • Sunlight: Plant your Reuben Pineapple Lily in full sun for at least 6 to 8 hours daily. While it can handle partial shade, you will notice the distinctive burgundy foliage and deep pink blooms lose their intensity and become more green if it lacks direct light.
  • Soil: These bulbs crave rich, well drained soil that does not hold standing water. If you have heavy clay, mix in organic compost or peat moss to improve drainage, or consider planting in a raised bed to prevent the bulbs from rotting during the winter.

Watering Requirements

During the first growing season, keep the soil consistently moist to help the bulb establish a strong root system. Once established, the Reuben Pineapple Lily is moderately drought tolerant, though dry spells can lead to smaller flower spikes and scorched leaf tips. Aim for deep soakings at the base of the plant once or twice a week during the heat of summer to maintain those exotic, vibrant blooms.

Pruning Tips

This plant blooms on new growth, so you should leave the foliage alone until it turns yellow or brown in late autumn. Think of the leaves like solar panels that gather energy for next year's flowers. Simply cut the spent flower stalks down to the base once they fade to keep the plant looking tidy and to prevent it from wasting energy on seed production.

Fertilizer Needs

Apply a balanced, slow release fertilizer in early spring just as the first sprouts emerge from the soil. Avoid using high nitrogen fertilizers late in the summer because this encourages tender green growth that can be easily damaged by the first frost. A single application of a general purpose 10-10-10 formula provides everything the bulb needs to power through its summer show.

In summer, a towering inflorescence lengthens from the center of foliage clump. Dark purple flower buds spiral along its length in a prelude to the coming show.

Over time, the buds open from the bottom of the stalk up to the top. Each fragrant bloom opens to rose-purple for a magnificent display.

Keep them growing on the plant to support local butterflies and beneficial pollinators. Or, snip them for commanding cut flower arrangements indoors.

Reuben Pineapple Lily blooms add a lot of personality to your landscape. Each long bloom is bedecked with a showy top knot of tiny green leaves for a wild touch of whimsical charm.

The lustrous leaves also look fantastic, even when Reuben is out of bloom. The long, strappy leaves bring an exotic look.

Grow them no matter how small your garden might be! Keep them in wide, shallow containers with plenty of drainage to add pizzazz to your courtyard or balcony.

Pair them with our other Pineapple Lilies for an incredible flowering display. They'll be a great contrast to rounded Rose bushes, or delicate Patio vines like Boulevard Clematis.

Eucomis is a bulb that will be a perennial in Zones 6 - 8. These are spring-planted and develop quickly to provide a superlative summer show.

Use them as an annual if you are outside the hardiness Zones. You can also dig and lift the bulb in fall to store overwinter in a cool, dry place, the same as Canna or Gladiolus.

Give Pineapple Lily full sun and sharply well-drained soils. They'll bloom best with a consistent schedule of moisture.

Enjoy the charms of Reuben Pineapple Lily this season. They are a low-maintenance choice for an abundance of charming color and fearless form.
