140mm Eucomis Sparkling Burgundy - Eucomis comosa

Commonly known as the Pineapple Lily, this bulb has unusual and striking, burgundy coloured foliage. Sword-like in shape and rich in colour, this plant provides dramatic visual impact. To add even further interest, during summer a thick stem rises from the central rosette of foliage producing a spike of pineapple-like flowers, with masses of tiny star shaped purple blooms which begin to open from bottom to top over a six to eight week period. Above the cluster of flowers, a tuft of burgundy blushed, green bracts form, finishing off the pineapple-like appearance.
