1 EREMURUS or 
FOXTAIL LILY 3 
By mid-June the magnificent spike of 
Eremurus robustus that has so strikingly 
accented the border, is losing its hundreds of airy, pink 
star-blossoms, but the nearby Eremurus Bungei, from hills 
of north Persia, will be opening the rich gold of its 
pyramid spires and the lower buds of the Shelford Hybrids 
will show varied lovely tones of apricot, salmon and cop- 
pery orange. Eremurus is of full winter hardiness here, 
and there is little difficulty to the growing of it, provid- 
ing seed is sown so that it has long exposure to cold. 
The roots go fully dormant in summer. Seedlings take at 
least three years to reach flowering size; may take longer, 
but they are long lived, once happily established. “yt”
