Companion Perennials for Spring 2013

Eucomis or Pineapple Lily is an ideal spring planted bulb for the summer garden. Its spike-like, eye-catching flower heads are covered with neatly stacked fragrant florets. Blooms are topped with a rosette of light green leaves resembling a pineapple. Eucomis can be used in full sun or partial shade and in between established perennials for seasonal color. Excellent in patio containers flanked by companion perennials or annuals. Bulbs prefer a well-drained soil. A good potting soil is recommended for planting containers.
