Eucomis Burgundy Wine - Pineapple flower

It is sensitive to cold temperatures below -10°C (14°F). It can be grown outdoors in mild regions, but elsewhere it should be cultivated in a pot or stored before the first frosts. The growth of the plants is quite slow. Ideally, they should be planted in a pot early in the season, covered with 5cm (2in) of soil. The best time to plant is from February onwards. They will be happy in rich and light compost. Leave the pot in the sun, watering regularly. Take the pot outside after the last frost, and place it in a sunny location. It is a heavy feeder and requires regular application of organic fertiliser. For pot cultivation, change the soil every year.
