Eucharis amazonica

Eucharis are evergreen bulbous perennials. They have lance-shaped leaves on long stalks, and umbels of fragrant daffodil-like flowers.


Flowering

From Early Summer TO Late Summer

Daffodil-like fragrant flowers appear in Summer

 

Planting

From Early Spring TO Mid Spring

Plant 15 cms. deep in free-draining moist, humus-rich soil in full sun.

 

Propagating by offsets

From Early Spring TO Mid Spring

Offsets are the baby plants that form at the base of some plants, and they are an easy way to propagate a plant. When the offsets have grown large enough to handle - and, hopefully, have some roots of their own,- gently break them away from the mother plant. Plant the offsets in a container and keep the plant barely moist (but not wet) until the plant is establishes, and can be planted out.
