Understanding Plant Options
Nature Hills offers plants in two main formats:
- Container Plants: Grown in pots with soil, sized by container volume and plant age
- Bare Root Plants: Dormant plants without soil, sized by height measurements
Container Plant Sizes
Container sizes indicate plant age and growing capacity rather than liquid volume equivalents. Our containers follow industry-standard nursery "trade gallon" specifications, which differ from standard liquid gallon measurements.

Add an exotic look to your borders with Meguru Pineapple Lily (Eucomis comosa 'Meguru'). Even out of bloom, the upright green leaves look lush and energetic.
They'll make marvelous additions to long borders. Pump up the visual appeal of boring, "blah" side yards with a long-running mass planting.
Now, add their two-foot long blooming inflorescence in summertime, and the impact goes sky high. The spike reaches high and is covered in lovely white blooms with lavender centers.
Each stalk ends in a topknot of smaller leaves. You'll do a double take, as the showy blooms really do look like pineapples!
A stand of flowering Meguru Pineapple Lily will stop people in their tracks! The wand-like blooms with their pineapple-shaped tops also catch the breeze in a kinetic display.
In small space gardens, keep them in containers. Wide, shallow containers are best and make sure they have good drainage.
Repeat Pineapple Lily Meguru in your mixed garden beds to support butterflies. Make the children in your life happy by adding in other cute sculptural bulbs like Allium or corms like Canna and Gladiolus.
Yes, Meguru Pineapple Lily is a bulb. It will be a perennial in Zones 6 - 8. But if you live outside of its hardiness area, you can still plant it in spring after the danger of frost is past for a glorious summer show.
Check your Zone by typing in your Zip Code in our Zone Finder above the Plant Highlights. Dig and lift it in fall to store overwinter in a cool, dry place.
Meguru Pineapple Lily needs full sun, well drained soils, and even moisture to produce the best blooms. Order plenty, so you have some for exquisite cut flowers.
Meguru Pineapple Lily is way too fun not to include in your garden this season. Nature Hills delivers beautiful commercial-grade plant material right to your door!
