Lilies – Will It Come Back?
Q: I was given three pineapple lilies and accidentally cut back the leaves after planting. Will the plants grow back?
A: Yes, they should be fine. The leaves will re-appear next spring in late April. My favorite pineapple lily is Eucomis ‘Sparkling Burgundy’, which has purple, strap-like leaves and white, pineapple-shaped flowers.
