...or experience in growing them from seed to share? I'd love to hear what you have to say. And I suspect I've mixed up some of my seed, because what I have germinating looks to be a dicot, LOL.

I'm also curious as to any winter hardiness experiments any of you may have done. I unintentionally left one in the ground at my old garden (that I moved from last May), and was pleasantly surprised to see it return 2 years running. We have had winter low temps -5 to 0 F for 2-3 days running the last few years, with no snowcover. Since they could well prove to be an easy care perennial for me, and they set seed so readily, I'm all in to the idea of propagating them!

I purchased these from the bloomingbulb co op last spring, just labeled Pineapple Lily, White. I think they are Eucomis comosa, but confirmation from you pros appreciated :-)
