I don't think rodents eat Eucomis bulbs. I had a gopher in the bed where I
have them a few years ago, and it ate all the lily bulbs but didn't bother
the Eucomis. Then one of my Malamutes caught it -- before my eyes! -- and
ate it up. While I cheered.
Chiltern's new seed catalog also lists Eucomis hybrids and mentions that
the seed comes from a large specialist collection, I assume in England. I
think I'll order some -- I'd like to get more of the good-looking leaf forms.
