Hi. I have a number of Eucomis in the garden, from 6 inches to 3 feet tall. Some I bought originally as species, others with variety names, e.g. Sparking Burgundy. I have never noticed any self sown plants although I see plenty of seed on some, but the commoner forms increase vegitatively OK. My E. pallidiflora (Pole-Evansii) grows Ok but does not like my low rainfall and is rarely much above 2 feet tall, and although I have seed pods I suspect the early frosts destroy them. Can I cut the stems now as we start night time -ve temps. and ripen them as cut stems?
