Pineapple is a slow-growing, clump-forming herbaceous perennial native to tropical South America. It features spiky, strap-like grayish-green leaves with sharp or saw-toothed edges, a central spike with small tubular lavender to reddish-purple flowers (50-200 blooms over several weeks), and an ornamental edible fruit that grows up to 12 inches long. After bananas and citrus, pineapples are the third most cultivated tropical fruit, with the 'Cayenne' or 'Smooth Cayenne' variety being the most common for consumption.
