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 6 to 10 feet tall, rise majestically from a tuft 
of long narrow leaves and are crowned by flower spikes 2 to 3 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.
