Planting and Growing Information
Plant Eucomis bulbs in spring after the last frost when soil temperatures reach at least 65°F. Position bulbs 3-4 inches deep and 6-8 inches apart in well-drained, fertile soil. They thrive in USDA zones 7-10 where they can remain in the ground year-round with mulch protection. In zones 3-6, lift bulbs before first frost and store in a cool, dry place over winter. Provide full sun to partial shade and consistent moisture during the growing season for optimal flowering.
