Eremurus stenophyllus is a foxtail lily with tall spires of bright yellow flowers.

 Eremurus or foxtail lilies are incredible and dramatic plants from western Russia, Ukraine, Turkey, China, and Siberia that are sure to command attention when they bloom in the late spring and early summer garden.

Eremurus

Eremurus, also called Desert Candles or Foxtail Lilies, are tall, spire-like plants with densely-packed flowers. They prefer rich, well-draining soil, bright sunlight, and protection from wind. Plant immediately upon receipt as the rootstocks dry out and need to be rehydrated.

Loosen the soil at each individual planting site: 36” apart (never overcrowd them). Imagine the rootstock as your hand with the fingers outstretched. The top of the back of your hand is the “nose” or the pointed crown of the Eremurus, and your fingers are its spidery tentacles. Gently place each brittle, spidery rootstock with its pointed crown facing up and the fingers spread out. Do your best to avoid rootstock breakage. Cover the top of the rootstock with a scant 2" to 3" of soil. In marginal microclimates or in areas with cold winters and inconsistent snow cover, a 2" layer of mulch should be applied after the top of the ground freezes to protect the shallow rootstocks from temperature spikes and early spring frosts. Top size, tuberous rootstocks. Bloom time: May/June. HZ: 5-8. Height: 3' to 6'
