treatment. When well grown the flower stems are 
2 feet high and bear five or six pure white flowers 
at their apex, with each flower measuring 4 to 5

necessary for this enchanting plant.

EREMURUS 
(Foxtail Lily or King’s Spear) 
A noble family of hardy plants, most delightful and desirable for stately and colorful 
groups in large plant borders and shrubberies. They are perfectly hardy, and when well 
established, produce dozens of giant flower spikes, 
like huge hyacinths, attaining a height of from 6 
to 10 feet, the flower spikes (comprising several 
hundred flowers) being from 2 to 3 feet long. 
They are best planted in early fall and thrive in 
any sunny, well drained border. They should be 
planted in early fall only, as it is dangerous to 
disturb them in spring, when they make an early 
growth. These wonderful, gigantic flowering plants 
do not require a great depth of soil, as the fleshy 
roots spread outwards. The plant disappears above 
ground after flowering and annuals may be planted 
close to them to fill the vacant space. A mulching 
of wood ashes is advised as a winter protection for 
the crowns and when the flower spikes appear in 
early spring a slight protection from the late frosts 
is necessary. We would recommend the Ever Ready 
Plant Protector, made of waterproof paper. 
The following list includes some of the finest and 
rarest in commerce, flowering in various months, 
as indicated, in spring and early summer.
