Eucomis species are attractive feature plants for the garden and the flowers are long-lasting even when cut. This is a very easy plant to grow, relatively needing little or no special attention (in very cold districts the dormant bulbs may be lifted and replanted in spring). Bulbs put into the garden should be planted level with or just below the soil surface in a well drained, warm and sheltered position in full sun.

They are also wonderful as potted plants, although the E. bicolor flower head does tend to droop and fall over unless you tie them up to a stake in the pot. They tend to grow larger if planted into the open garden but in pots they make great specimen plants.

If you do lift the bulbs, plant them in autumn or winter-early spring, and if you put them into pots use a mix of sandy loam with equal amounts of well decayed manure and sand. This mixture ensures good drainage, but a commercial potting mix works just as well. Plenty of water during summer is essential but cut down during winter. Feed with a weak solution of seaweed mix or kelp. Liquid manure or organic plant food may be given when the flower spikes appear.
