Eucomis Sparkling Burgundy Eucomis Sparkling Burgundy Sparkling Burgundy Eucomis Close up of Sparkling Burgundy

Eucomis ‘Sparkling Burgundy’ is an exquisite and dramatic variety of the Pineapple Lily, prized for its rich, deep burgundy stems and lush, glossy foliage that emerges in a striking dark wine-red hue in spring, gradually turning greener as the season progresses. This bold backdrop sets the stage for its dense flower spikes, adorned with tiny, star-shaped pink flowers, making it a true standout in any garden.

Flowering in late summer to early autumn, 'Sparkling Burgundy' adds long-lasting colour, height, and structure just as many other blooms begin to fade. Reaching up to 45cm tall, it brings a touch of the exotic to sunny borders, mixed plantings, or feature containers on patios and balconies.

As a hardy perennial, this variety returns year after year with minimal care, thriving in well-drained soil and full sun. Its striking foliage and unusual floral display also make it perfect for modern or tropical-themed gardens.

For gardeners who love plants with a bit of drama and elegance, Eucomis ‘Sparkling Burgundy’ is a must-have. With its vibrant colouring and architectural form, it’s guaranteed to make a bold, lasting impression.

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.
