WOW! that ones a beauty. Plant 4 to 6 inches deep in rich well drained soil about 8 to 10 iches apart.I plant mine in a 14 inch container with other bulbs,but not until late April.If yours are starting to grow then put them in a cold place to keep them dormant.If you plant them you will encourage them to start growing.

I've got Joy's Purple...one of my real favorites. It is a dwarf hybrid.....plant 4 inches deep MAX and put all the bulbs in a 10 inch pot......I've got 4 in an 8 inch pot each of the past 3 years and they do great. This one does not offset at near the rate of many others for me. I have maybe 200 Eucomis of many, many species and hybrids in pots....very easy this way. I use normal potting mix and add some perlite to increase drainage.....they can flop over very fast if not well watered in the full sun and heat for me, but if you are going to sink the pot that will not be as much of a problem. Mine get watered every single day in the middle of summer the way I treat them. Overwinter by just putting the pot in the garage assuming it does not get below freezing...mine stays at around 40F so it is perfect for keeping everyone dormant.

When I got my Joy's Purple 3 years ago I had to import from England at great expense so it is good to see this fantastic plant has now become common here in the U.S......it is a beauty :o) Dan

Thanks so much for the advice. I will put them in a cool place and cross my fingers that they make it to spring. Actually, Dan, I did not get the bulbs in the US, they were sent from Ireland!
