I normally just lurk on this list but I have some confused eucomis and I don't know how to straighten them out. I planted 3 bulbs of Eucomis Sparkling Burgundy in a container last spring. They grew but did not bloom; I figured they needed to bulk up. Our first frost that autumn was a freeze and caught me unawares. My pot of eucomis might have been frozen solid when I brought it to the basement. My basement stays in the mid- to upper 50s (F) and the eucomis apparently thought winter was over and spring had come, and started growing again in early January, which is deep, snowy winter here. So I brought it upstairs and treated it like a houseplant. It grew and grew, had two blooms that weren't burgundy (probably not enough light) and they grew--well, all the leaves and the flower stalks got very elongated due to not enough light. In January, through a window, there's just not enough. So I have an already-bloomed eucomis with long floppy leaves that droop over the sides of the container when now I would be bringing out a pot of just-emerging bulbs to grow and bloom in the summer sunshine. What should I do? Leave it outside with its current set of leaves and let it build up the bulb for next year? Let it dry out, cut off the current set of leaves, and hope it pushes out another set? Throw it on the compost pile and start over? Well, I don't really want to do that, but I'm not sure how to get it back on schedule.
