Eremurus Himalaicus
M5312
Exquisite, snowy spires rising up to 1.5m tall, bloom during June and July on stately Eremurus ‘Himalaicus’. Pretty, star-shaped, white florets with golden anthers open from the base of the flowering spike upwards. The stems are excellent for cutting, adding an elegant, sweeping flourish to large-scale arrangements.
These showy plants, known as Fox Tail Lilies, are a fantastic investment for the garden. Not only are the flowers long-lasting when they bloom, the bulbs will multiply once settled, flowering for years to come in full sun and well-drained, light soil. Best placed in the centre or towards the back of a large garden border.
This unusual pure white variety is particularly effective in a timeless white and green planting scheme and looks great with summer blues and lilac shades.
Care Guide
Grow aristocratic Eremurus in a sunny, well-drained site with light soil. Add a bed of sand to the planting hole if you garden on heavy soil.
Plant the tuberous, spider-like roots 8-10cm deep, spaced 30-60cm apart in the earth. Place in groups of 3 or 5 for impact.
Provide consistent watering, ensuring the soil remains moderately moist particularly during dry spells of weather and whilst the roots settle in.
Majestic, fuzzy spires of yellow, orange or pink will rise to impressive heights of 90-200cm in midsummer when the flowers bloom.
During winter, mulch the area around Foxtail lilies with leaf mould to enrich the soil and add protection against harsh weather.
