Eucomis pallidiflora subsp. pole-evansii (Avon clone)

The biggest and tallest flowering form with yellow-green flowers held some way off the stem on longer pedicels so that the whole flower head is wider and more impressive. Late flowering and supplied as big bulbs from our own stock. They will need deep planting to provide some support for the thick stem and again, they may not flower in their first year. We regard them as perfectly hardy though a long way north the summer may be too short to get their full benefit.

There are two clones - one we have grown for years with long flower bracts and a Dutch form with short bracts, different silhouettes result. You choose. Big bulbs.

Planting Instructions

Huge bulbs to plant deeply in full sun and with 5-6" (12-15cm) of soil covering the bulb to aid support of the stem and 20"(50cm) apart or in big well watered pots. Allow 2' (60cm) spread.
