Responding to Adam Fisko: I got mine at a local nursery that has since gone out of business; I have no info on its background. It grows in not very rich, fast-draining soil. I haven't paid it much attention in terms of seeds or increase - it's a fairly minor component of the garden - but certainly shall in the future. (And I've never succeeded with any Eucomis outside, though I'm in the process of trying again). Jim Jones
