DESCRIPTION
Eucomis ‘Rhode Island Red' is an exotic-looking perennial prized for its rich burgundy foliage and unique flower spikes. In early to mid-summer, it produces tall flower stalks topped with dense clusters of star-shaped, mauve-pink to purple flowers. These blooms are crowned by a tuft of leafy bracts, giving the plant its characteristic "pineapple-like" appearance. As the flowers mature, the burgundy stems and foliage intensify in color, creating a striking contrast with the delicate blooms.
‘Rhode Island Red’ is native to South Africa, where its genus, Eucomis, thrives in rocky grasslands. This variety, known for its ornamental value, has become popular in temperate gardens worldwide for its unique combination of dramatic foliage and long-lasting blooms, which can also be used in cut flower arrangements.
