Notes
'Reuben' pineapple lily (Eucomis comosa 'Reuben') is a perennial for borders, containers, and pollinator gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 7, or down to 0°F (-18°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. Light blue-violet flowers appear from early to late summer and attract bees. E. Welsh bred it.
