Cultivar Notes -
Tugela Jewel
Eucomis ‘Tugela Jewel’ is the latest introduction from New Zealand pineapple lily breeder Eddie Welsh. This compact selection emerges with purple foliage that ages to green with a purple blushed edge. The 16" tall flower spikes, composed of pink flowers which age to a darker pink, top the plant in August.
Genus Notes -
Eucomis
Fragrant South African native, Pineapple Lily is a must have for every garden and patio! Tropical, fleshy leaves with flower spikes that appear to be miniature "pineapples" at the top of each stem. Flowers begin opening from the bottom and have a perfect star shape to them.

Expect to wait a few weeks to see these plants in spring, Pineapple Lilies (like Hardy Hibiscus) are among the last perennials to wake from their winter sleep. Eucomis grow from a bulb and need to be planted deep like a hardy Lilium (Tiger Lily) so that the flower stalk grows upright and to ensure winter hardiness.

Eucomis are a tropical looking perennial native of South Africa. They are nicknamed "Pineapple Lily" for their tall inflorescence and spiky tops that look like the tropical fruit. Excellent as a perennial thriller in containers or the landscape. These plants can be tender and winter protection is recommended when growing in colder zones.
