"A gift from the grower; his very, very biggest bulbs. With a big smile, the grower Langedijk from Zwaagdijk in West Friesland, walked into our shed with his bulbs. ""Koik this is nogurrus quality (yes, the good man speaks West Frisian)"";
24/+cm is the size of these whoppers and they still produce a whopper of flowers. I had already had a few from Langedijk for my garden when his batch was still too small to sell from them.
The Eucomis pole-evansii does indeed have enormous flowers, which emerge from an enormous plant. It is amazing that something like that can grow from a flower bulb. Give it some space when planting, because everything that is too close will get a push. Plant the bulbs nice and deep, a good 10 cm of soil on top of the bulb, in a sunny spot. In my garden it has been there for years, with a small winter cover it is completely winter hardy."

Planting flower bulbs
When should I plant my flower bulbs? If you want beautiful flowers such as tulips and daffodils in your garden in the spring, you will need to plant flower bulbs in the fall. This can be done as soon as the leaves fall from the trees. Make sure that the spring bloomers are in the ground before the frost sets in.
Summer bloomers such as dahlias and lilies should be planted in the spring so that they bloom in the summer.
Planting flower bulbs is not complicated at all. The same principles apply in principle:
- do not plant the bulb too deep in the ground (usually between 8 and 18 centimeters)
- provide good natural conditions
- be frugal with fertilizer and let the bulb do its work
