Eucomis Bicolour

Description

Eucomis bicolor is a striking and distinctive perennial that brings a touch of the tropics to the garden with its pineapple-like flower clusters. The tall, slender flower spikes are crowned with a rosette of purple-tinged bracts, which create a dramatic contrast against the pure white star-shaped flowers. Blooming in late summer to fall, the flowers are fragrant and attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies.

This plant thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-drained, moderately fertile soil. Hardy in USDA zones 7-10, Eucomis bicolor is perfect for adding height and texture to borders, tropical gardens, or containers. Once the flowers fade, the foliage remains attractive, with long, strap-like green leaves that create a lush, tropical backdrop. Whether grown as a specimen plant, in mass plantings, or in decorative pots, this unique Lily provides an exotic flair and seasonal interest for many months.
