Cephalophora aromatica

pineapple

Cephalophora aromatica, also known as pineapple or lemon-scented plant, is a charming annual with fine, fresh green leaves and small, round golden-yellow flower heads. The flowers resemble miniature suns and, along with the leaves, emit a pronounced sweet, pineapple-like fragrance.

The plant remains compact and bushy, making it very suitable for borders, herb gardens, and pots. Both the leaves and flowers can be used fresh or dried to flavour tea or as an aromatic addition in desserts.

Cephalophora aromatica thrives in a sunny location and well-draining soil. A playful, fragrant plant that combines ornamental value and utility in one sunny package.
