Notes
'African Night' pineapple lily (Eucomis comosa 'African Night') is a bulb for borders, containers, and pollinator gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full or part sun, average moisture, and loamy soil. Pink flowers open from early to late summer and again in early autumn. Bees visit the blooms, and the plant needs little care.
Pairs well with Star Gazer lily, Fountain grass, and Sarah Bernhardt peony.
