Eucomis Autumnalis, commonly known as the Autumn Pineapple Lily, is a striking bulbous perennial that adds bold structure and late-season charm to gardens. As part of the distinctive Eucomis family, it features a pineapple-like flower head—an upright central stem densely packed with star-shaped blooms, crowned with a rosette of leafy bracts that complete its exotic look.

Growing to around 40cm tall, E. Autumnalis produces masses of greenish-white, starry flowers that bloom in late summer through early autumn, bringing fresh energy to borders just as many other flowers begin to fade.

Perfect for adding a tropical touch to sunny borders, gravel gardens, and patio pots, this easy-care plant thrives in well-drained soil and full sun, and can even be used as a feature plant in containers.

With its unique structure, long flowering period, and eye-catching blooms, Eucomis autumnalis is an ideal choice for gardeners looking to extend seasonal interest into the later months of the year. A must-have for those who love architectural plants with an exotic twist!

How to plant Eucomis

• Find a location in full sun/partial shade.
• Eucomis can be grown in most soil types, please ensure it is well-drained.
• Water freely when in flower. 

How to plant Eucomis in pots

• We recommend planting in a loam-based compost like John Innes No.3 with added grit.
• Mix 2/3 compost to 1/3 horticultural grit. 
• Plant in a wide, shallow pan container.
• Plant bulbs so the tip is just below the surface.
• Allow 7-15cm (3-6") apart.

How to plant Eucomis in the garden

• Plant each bulb 10-15cm (4-6") deep to protect from frost damage and 15cm (6") apart.
• Plant bulbs so the tip is just below the surface.

How to care for Eucomis

• Eucomis may need protecting over winter. Apply a mulch to protect from hard frosts. Cover with 10cm thick of bark or leaf mould. 
• Containers can be kept in a frost-free place over winter, bring them into shelter from October. Allow the compost to dry out for the bulbs to become dormant. 
• If you wish to lift them, dry the bulbs off and store them in a frost-free place such as a shed or greenhouse. 
• In the spring, give your pots a top dress with a general fertiliser like Growmore.
