Variety traits
Plant height — Eucomis L’Hér.
Eucomis L’Her.
The height of Eucomis is determined by the distance from the soil surface to the top of the inflorescence and serves as a key cultivar trait for selecting a planting site.
In the reference 3 varieties crop Pineapple lily, where this is mentioned in the description.
For Eucomis, height is measured from the soil surface to the highest point of the inflorescence, including the leafy coma. The bulb caliber significantly influences the final size of the above-ground part: larger bulbs promote the development of taller and more robust flower stalks.
Depending on cultivar characteristics, Eucomis varieties are divided into dwarf forms (20–40 cm), suitable for the front of borders and containers, and standard tall forms (60–75 cm and higher), used in the center of compositions. When cultivating, it is important to avoid shading, as it causes etiolation and a loss of stem strength.
