requires greenhouse treatment. When well

necessary for this enchanting plant.

Eremurus 
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 (com¬ 
prising 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 re¬ 
quire 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 water-proof paper.
