E. comosa is a perennial with an upright habit. It has long, narrow burgundy leaves. In late summer it bears racemes of star shaped pink or cream coloured flowers topped with small green spiky leaves like a pineapple top.
You don’t need to frequently water the pineapple lily, especially when it goes dormant in the winter. It can tolerate some dry periods, but shouldn’t be allowed to completely dry during the warmer months.
The plant needs plenty of light, full sun or a little partial shade if you want it to thrive. If grown indoors, place it in a south-facing window
The Eucomis grows in regular potting soil in a pot with drainage holes. However, add some pumice can help increase the drainage, which is useful if you tend to overwater your plants.
The plants can tolerate temperatures just above freezing (40 degrees Fahrenheit) during the winter, which makes the plant able to grow in a variety of climates.
In zones that are too cold for these plants, it makes sense to grow them in containers. This makes overwintering pineapple lily plants easier
