Eucomis regia is a species of bulbous flowering plant in the family Asparagaceae, subfamily Scilloideae, native to the Cape Provinces of South Africa.

E. regia flowers from late winter to early spring, dying down completely during the dry summer.

The greenish flowers lack obvious pedicels (stalks), being sunken into the scape (stem).

It is restricted to heavy clay soils in open areas or in renosterveld vegetation, amongst rocks on shaded south-facing hillsides.

[3] As it is only half-hardy and requires a completely dry rest in summer, it has to be grown in a greenhouse in regions with temperate climates, such as the British Isles.
