Most GCs now have Eucomis among their bulb selections. I've had some of mine for years. Some in the ground that have burrowed down so I couldn't dig em up if I wanted to. It flowered this year for first time. They are fantastic in big pots. They sprout and bloom later then most bulbs. They can get very large if left undisturbed. They are not as tender as presumed. I have some left in a big pot......I mean big.....fighting it out with a self seeded lavender. The lavender is going over and the Eucomis has muscled its way through and 3 good flower heads. Other Sneaky Eucomis have seeded and are now warily watching as they grow a bit each year, to see if the hoe is hovering. Fascinating plant....other name 'pineapple lily'.

You need to but these from a bulb catalogue or from garden centres in spring. Beware of the ones that smell foul! we had to banish it to the bottom of the garden when it flowered as it smelt like rotten meat! But others have nice or no smell.
