 As a new-comer to this sight, this is my first attempt to respond.  I have propagated my Eucomis Sparkling Burgundy from cuttings.  An example of this is in this video if you cannot get seeds to germinate.  I have been told that this plant is one of the few bulbs that you can propagate from cuttings.

Hi. I have a number of Eucomis in the garden, from 6 inches to 3 feet 
tall. Some I bought originally as species, others with variety names, 
e.g. Sparking Burgundy. I have never noticed any self sown plants 
although I see plenty of seed on some, but the commoner forms increase 
vegitatively OK. My E. pallidiflora (Pole-Evansii) grows Ok but does not 
like my low rainfall and is rarely much above 2 feet tall, and although 
I have seed pods I suspect the early frosts destroy them. Can I cut the 
stems now as we start night time -ve temps. and ripen them as cut stems?
