Eucomis Crowning Glory 'Purple Reign' is a pineapple lily with bold purple foliage and purple-pink flower spikes.
Description:
Eucomis Crowning Glory 'Purple Reign' is a cold-hardy, compact pineapple lily that provides a tropical-look in the garden! The glossy, broad and strappy foliage with slight, wavy edges adds interest while waiting for the unusual purple flower spikes to emerge in late summer. The flowers on the inflorescence look like a pineapple with a tuft of bracts at the top. Clump-forming to 18 to 20 inches tall with a 24 inch spread. Very easy to grow in free-draining soils and in containers. Full sun for best results. Use as a focal point and as a cut flower. Mulch in winter with fallen leaves in colder zones or protect in a frost free location. Pollinator attractor.
