A double celebration!<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><em>I\u2019m thrilled that our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finegardening.com\/plant\/pineapple-lily-eucomis-comosa-sparkling-burgundy\">\u2018Sparkling Burgundy\u2019 pineapple lily<\/a> (<\/em>Eucomis comosa<em> \u2018Sparkling Burgundy\u2019, Zones 6\u20139) is thriving in its fifth year in our garden. I was relatively new to this lovely perennial when I first saw it, but I knew I had to have one after seeing it in a friend\u2019s garden years ago. It has such a tropical vibe, which is somewhat unusual in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finegardening.com\/series\/pacific-northwest-regional-reports\">Pacific Northwest<\/a> garden.<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><em>My criteria when choosing a planting spot were simple: lots of sun, but I also had to be able to see it from our main patio and from inside our house. I hoped we had found the perfect place.<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><em>I purchased this beauty from my local nursery in May 2022, and she has been thriving ever since. We have a rabbit problem, so we protected our pineapple lily almost year-round with green fencing. This spring, we decided to risk it and removed the fencing in June\u2014and apparently pineapple lily was not on the rabbit buffet menu!<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><em>I\u2019m happy to see how much the pineapple lily has multiplied, and now I\u2019m pondering if\u2014and when\u2014I should divide it.
