Hi 🙂 i planted eucomis bulbs in pots as i had no room for them in the garden at the time. The are starting to come up.  Would it ok to move them into the garden?

    Yes  :)
    Anything potted can be planted at any time of year apart from when ground is frozen or waterlogged. I'm guessing that you don't have that problem  ;)
    Nice free draining soil for them in a sunny position. 
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    People say don't plant them to too deep, but we have planted them both deeply and just below the surface, and they have always been fine.  The point that @Fairygirl
    mentioned about drainage and sunshine is more important.

    I like them, especially the dark ones, but I'd need to overwinter them in the greenhouse. They don't survive here outside. 
    When I've had them in the past, I don't remember doing anything specific re the depth either @KeenOnGreen. I probably didn't know any better!
