Make a bold statement in your landscape with the showy foliage and amazing blooms of Reuben Pineapple Lily (Eucomis comosa 'Reuben'). This beloved spring-planted bulb is so easy to grow...and adds an effortless elegance.
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.
Repeat them throughout your sunny borders, or line the length of a skinny side yard to maximize the visual impact. Both sophisticated and endearing, Reuben Pineapple Lily is a carefree choice to add a dynamic visual element in your space.
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.
