Here are some tips for planting and caring for Eremurus:
-
Planting Location: Choose a sunny spot with well-drained soil. Eremurus prefers full sun to partial shade.
-
Soil Preparation: Ensure the soil is rich in organic matter. You can amend it with compost to enhance drainage and fertility.
-
Planting Depth: Plant the tubers about 8-10 inches deep, with the narrow part facing downwards.
-
Spacing: Space the tubers about 12-18 inches apart to allow for their mature size.
-
Watering: Water thoroughly after planting and keep the soil moist but not soggy as the tubers establish.
-
Care: After the flowering season, allow the foliage to die back naturally, as it helps to nourish the tubers for the next growing season.

We recommend planting these tubers between late summer and early spring, though getting them in the ground during autumn will mean the soil will be much easier to work with. They also need the wintery cold! Without it they won't flower beautifully in the warmer months. These tubers flower in a wave, from the bottom to the top, with their starry flowers imitating the eponymous fox tails.
