Notes
'Champaca' pineapple (Ananas comosus 'Champaca') is a perennial for borders, containers, specimen planting, and accents. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 10 and warmer, down to about 30°F (-1°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes part sun and average to moist, sandy or loamy soil. It grows slowly into a dense evergreen clump and tolerates drought. Flowers appear from early to late summer.
Pairs well with Tree philodendron, Adam's needle, and California fescue.
