Pineapple Lily 'Tugela Jade'
Eucomis ‘Tugela Jade’ is a bulbous perennial with dense racemes of starry pure white flowers, opening from chartreuse buds in mid to late summer. At the tip of the spike sits a rosette of young leaves similar to those of pineapples, hence the common name of Pineapple Lily. Rich in nectar, the flowers last several weeks, opening from the bottom up. Bred for the cut flower market, ‘Tugela Jade’ is also a great addition to the landscape or containers. It is named after the Tugela River in South Africa.
