In The Walled Garden, Suffolk, there was this impressive clump of Eucomis comosa 'Sparkling Burgundy' (pineapple lily). This bulbous perennial has exotic, architectural foliage with spectacular flowers that last for months and with seed-heads that are as striking as the flowers. The large bulbs need a well-drained soil and here the raised bed created by the low retaining wall and sandy conditions will be providing the ideal site within the protection of this walled garden.
