Eucomis Palidiflora Subsp. Pole-Evansii

Description

Eucomis pallidiflora subsp. pole-evansii is a refined variety of the Pineapple Lily, known for its delicate, tall flower spikes that rise above a clump of narrow, strap-like green leaves. The flowers are pale greenish-white with a subtle fragrance, arranged in clusters at the top of the flower spike, crowned by a distinctive rosette of purple-tinged bracts. This combination of colors and textures creates a striking, exotic look in the garden.

Thriving in full sun to partial shade, Eucomis pallidiflora subsp. pole-evansii prefers well-drained, moderately fertile soil and is drought-tolerant once established. Hardy in USDA zones 7-10, it is well-suited for tropical-style gardens, mixed borders, or large containers. With its unique pineapple-like flower structure and graceful foliage, this variety adds height, drama, and seasonal interest to the garden, attracting pollinators like bees and butterflies. Whether used as a specimen plant or in mass plantings, Eucomis pallidiflora subsp. pole-evansii brings lasting beauty to the landscape.
