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 coppery 
orange. Eremurus is of full winter hardi- 
ness here, and there is little difficulty to 
the growing of it, providing seed is sown 
so that it has long exposure to cold. The 
roots go fully dormant in summer. Seed- 
lings take at least three years to reach 
flowering size; may take longer, but they 
are long lived, once happily established.
