Eucomis pole-evansii

Description

It was at Sissinghurst that I first saw this species and have been consumed by lust ever since. A robust species of Eucomis with flowering stems rising over 3 ft. in height from a handsome, large rosette of fleshy strap-like leaves, topped by handsome, wide-opening green flowers and finished with a clever coma of leaves on top. Full sun in a warm, protected position, and well-drained soil.
