Ananas comosus 'Smooth Cayenne'


Detailed Description

Ananas comosus ‘Smooth Cayenne’ “Pineapple”
One of the famous pineapple varieties of commerce, this Hawaiian hybrid is nearly spineless and makes a great container plant. The fruit will grow to the size of a standard pineapple if given enough light and room. Home-grown pineapple, allowed to ripen on the plant, has an amazing sweetness. For the fastest growth, pineapples like lots of sun and warm temperatures. Allow the plant to dry out between waterings. It takes 2 years to bring a young plant into fruit. Hardy Zone 10 and higher for outdoors.

Full or partial sun, grows to 1-1.5' in container, minimum temperature indoors 60°, intermittent bloomer.

Fragrant!

Easy Grower!
