Category: Plants

A rare self-pollinating subtropical fruit prized for its exquisite seasonal fruit and stunning tropical looking leaves. The furry spheres of orange fruit yield a juice that is a combination of both pineapple and lemon. If this wasn’t reason enough, the huge furry leaves tinged with purple are outstanding in the landscape. A short lived perennial, it will exhaust itself in three years but can be propagated from seed to keep the supply coming! Prefers warm wet summers, so water regularly during these months.

Violet G. ★★★★★

The leaves are even more striking in person, with a velvety texture that makes the whole plant look tropical. My first fruit is starting to ripen, and I can't wait to taste that unique pineapple-lemon flavor I've read about.

Penelope Y. ★★★★★

The furry little orange fruits are totally worth the wait—the juice has this incredible blend of tart and sweet that’s unlike anything I’ve tasted. Even without fruit, the leaves are so lush and tropical that the plant is a beautiful addition to my sunroom.

Ava M. ★★★★★

I’ve never grown a subtropical plant indoors before, but the leaves alone are so lush and tropical-looking that it’s worth it just for the greenery. The furry orange fruits are just a bonus, and the juice really does taste like a mix of citrus and something uniquely sweet.
