An excellent, compact, re-blooming variety with stunning yellow and creamy-white flower stalks, creating an unusual border or container planting; makes a great cut flower and attracts hummingbirds.

Pineapple Popsicle Torch lily is an open herbaceous evergreen perennial with tall flower stalks held atop a low mound of foliage. Its relatively fine texture sets it apart from other garden plants with less refined foliage.

This is a relatively low maintenance plant, and should be cut back in late fall in preparation for winter. It is a good choice for attracting hummingbirds to your yard, but is not particularly attractive to deer who tend to leave it alone in favor of tastier treats. It has no significant negative characteristics.

Pineapple Popsicle Torch lily features bold spikes of yellow tubular flowers with white overtones at the ends of the stems from early to late summer. The flowers are excellent for cutting. Its grassy leaves remain dark green in colour throughout the year.

Pineapple Popsicle Torch lily will grow to be about 20 inches tall at maturity, with a spread of 18 inches. When grown in masses or used as a bedding plant, individual plants should be spaced approximately 16 inches apart. It grows at a medium rate, and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for approximately 10 years. As an evergreen perennial, this plant will typically keep its form and foliage year-round.

Pineapple Popsicle Torch lily is a fine choice for the garden, but it is also a good selection for planting in outdoor pots and containers. With its upright habit of growth, it is best suited for use as a 'thriller' in the 'spiller-thriller-filler' container combination; plant it near the center of the pot, surrounded by smaller plants and those that spill over the edges. Note that when growing plants in outdoor containers and baskets, they may require more frequent waterings than they would in the yard or garden.
