Ananas comosus Corona ('Duranas2') (PBR)
ornamental pineapple
A curious plant with an ornamental pineapple growing from the top, but this pineapple is not for eating! Part of the Bromeliad plant family native to tropical America it has swordlike spiny green leaves, held in a dense rosette, with the fruit held in the centre on a sturdy stalk. It’s a real sun lover, so pop it on a sunny kitchen windowsill to be appreciated.
Please note that the plant comes in a 12cm nursery pot as standard, unless a decorative pot cover is included as an option.
