Eucomis Circle August 2008
Eucomis comosa October 2009
The stone circle was laid with the Rock Garden in 1994. Armeria maritima (Thrift) grew well there for 13 years. I envisioned a new design after I became excited about Eucomis (Pineapple Lily) in 2006. I planted in March of 2007. The circle is 3 feet across. It contains 21 Eucomis bulbs. Taller E comosa & bicolor fill the north half, shorter E autumnalis & E zambesiaca fill the south. Flower color ranges from white through pink to dark red. ‘Oakhurst’ has dark red foliage. Update summer 2010: E autumnalis & E zambesiaca died out, probably due to winter temperatures too low for them to tolerate. E bicolor & E 'Oakhurst' persist, but have never bloomed.
