The Foxtail Lily 'Shelford Pink', Eremurus, produces beautiful salmon pink flowers. Originally from Tibet, one of the most colorful flowers and long-lasting as a cut flower. Flowers late May to June. Thrive in well-drained sunny sites, blooming for 10-15 years without dividing. Outstanding cut flower with long vase life. Top size bulbs.
These spectacular flowers make a colorful and bold statement in the early summer garden. Towering at the back of the sunny border, the leafless flower stalks grow above green, strap-shaped leaves. The roots of the Foxtail Lily must be handled very carefully. The soil should be well-drained, so add sufficient sand to heavy clay soils. Although the tubers are winter hardy, a mulch layer is highly recommended.
