Summer is the time for eucomis - I only grow a few due to the need to over-winter them under cover.This is the first flowering of Eucomis bicolor which I got a couple of years ago from our annual "Bunfight" - the Plant Exchange of the AGS Victorian Group.Here is the progression over a couple of weeks,cheersfermi
I’m surprised to hear you say that you need to over-winter eucomis under cover. Here in the wet and chilly SW coast of Scotland, I have had Eucomis bicolor/comosa etc out in the garden all year for many years. The hardiest has been Eucomis ‘Sparkling Burgundy’, which survived the very cold winter in 2010 (down to -10C for a couple of weeks). The one which definitely needs protection for me is E vandermerwei, I lost that one.
