Eucomis autumnalis is a beautiful indigenous summer growing bulb carrying inflorescences that look like pineflowers, hence the name.  It is suited to rockeries or in groups in the herbaceous border.  The inflorescence is a lovely cut flower and can be kept for up to a month in a vase.  Bulbs should be planted with their tops just below the soil. Use a well-drained well-composted soil. The bulb is decidouos, the aerial parts dying off in winter.
