Tim asked, >Where did you buy the 'Dark Star'? I see 'Freckles' for sale online >but hadn't come across Dark Star. Sorry, Tim, I bought it at a local plant sale. Terranova Nursery is a local wholesale firm and sometimes their introductions come on the market sooner here. You might check the website of Cistus Nursery (http://www.cistus.com/) which isn't always up to date on their offerings (their holdings are vast) but you could inquire. Also check Rare Plant Research, which must have a website -- it is a local nursery specializing in half-hardy and tender species and does have a number of Eucomis. Jane McGary Portland, Oregon, USA
