EREMURUS 
A noble group of hardy plants 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 crowded by flower spikes 2 to 3 feet long. ihese spikes are composed of 
hundreds of closely set, starlike flowers in beautiful shades of rese, yellow, bronze 
and white. 
Eremurus should be planted in the early fall, 4 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 suf- 
ficient. When flowering time is over, the plant disappears entirely, but reappears 
very early in the spring, when it is advisable to place a pdper bag or flower pot 
over the young crown to protect it from late frost.
