EUCOMIS (Pineapple flower)

EUCOMIS (Pineapple flower)

EUCOMIS (Pineapple flower)

(Pineapple flower)Easy and unusual late summer flowering bulbs. They require a dry dormant period in winter and are probably best grown against a sunny wall. They are excellent in large pots. I just pop mine into the garage for the winter and re-pot each spring. Feed and water well for best results.
