EREMURUS 
A noble group of hardy plants which is just finding its way into the American 
gardens from the Himalayas. The enormous, stately flower stalks, often six to 
ten feet tall, rise majestically from a tuft of long narrow leaves and are crowned by 
flower spikes two to three feet long. These spikes are composed of hundreds of 
closely set star-like flowers of beautiful shades of rose, yellow, bronze and white. 
Eremurus should be planted in the early Fall, four inches deep. They enjoy a 
well-drained rich soil and a sunny location, and may be left undisturbed for years. 
Although perfectly hardy they should have a heavy mulch of salt hay or leaves 
the first year after planting. When fully established a mulch of old cow manure is 
sufficient. 
When flowering time is over, the plant disappears entirely, but reappears very 
early in the Spring, when it is advisable to place a paper bag or flower pot over the 
young crown to protect it from late frost.
