The rare Eucomis vandermerwei is native only to the small high rainfall region in the Northern Drakensberg Mountains between 7000' and 8000' elevation (Steenkampsberg range) just e ast of Pretoria, South Africa. In the wild, they are found in well-drained rocky crevices, free from winter moisture. In the garden, the dwarf E. vandermerwei makes a wonderful rock garden plant. The heavily ruffled, narrow, green and purple spotted ground-hugging leaves form a 15" wide clump. The dark purple, mini pineapple-looking flowers top the foliage late in the season...just darling. If kept dry when dormant, these should prove to be quite winter hardy. Show more
