Do I cut back stems and leaves?
Or leave to die back normally like
Daffodils?
Thank you

After flowering- It is important with all bulbs to allow the leaves to die back naturally after flowering. Winter protection- Eucomis are not fully hardy and the bulbs need to be protected from frost. Apply a mulch to protect from hard frosts. Cover with 10cm thick of bark or leaf mould.
Containers can be kept in a frost-free place over winter, bring them into shelter from October. Allow the compost to dry out for the bulbs to become dormant.
If you wish to lift them, dry the bulbs off and store them in a frost-free place such a shed or greenhouse.

I live in the Orkney Islands, north of Scotland, would it be too cold here for these, or can I grow them indoors?

Hi there,
Yes North Scotland is fine for planting Eucomis Sparkling Burgundy outside.

I was just wondering if Eucomis Sparkling Burgundy bulbs are available to buy now.

Yes Eucomis Sparkling Burgundy are still available to purchase now:

Eucomis Sparkling Burgundy is an exquisite variety of Eucomis that will come up year after year. Each stem of Eucomis Sparkling Burgundy will produce tiny star-shaped pink flowers against a deep burgundy stem. Plant now for following this summer.
