About Sparkling Burgundy
The stem is reddish purple and every other part of the plant is tinged the same color. Blooms for 6–8 weeks in late summer and lasts a month as a cut flower.
Eucomis gets its name from the Greek “eu” and “kome” meaning “good hair.” More photos and how to grow this pineapple lily from the Missouri Botanical Garden.
About Pineapple Lily
Flower spikes rise from a rosette of thick, wavy-edged leaves. Each plump stalk is densely covered with waxy, starry flowers and crowned by a green tuft that makes it look like a little pineapple. Sweetly fragrant. Over-winter in a cool room indoors, or dig out the bulbs and store them in a cool, dry place. The species is native to South Africa.
