Description

Eremurus (Foxtail Lily or Desert Candle) blooms in early summer with tall spikes of stunning bright yellow flowers. Plant them in well-drained soil where they get full sun. Perennial in USDA zones 5-8 (mulch well in zones 5-6, and remove in early spring). Eremerus are not well-suited for containers as they prefer not to be moved once established. Foxtail Lilies make stunning cut flowers.

Planting & Care

Summer Blooming Bulbs, including popular varieties such as gladiolus and dahlias, are planted in the spring and bloom in the summer. Most of these bulbs are tropical and require warm weather to be planted. There must not be any danger of frost and your ground temperature must have reached 55 degrees Fahrenheit before planting. Many of our summer blooming bulbs can be planted as perennials in zones 9-10 (zone 8 if mulched), but should be treated as annuals in cooler climates. You can lift them and store them in the fall, or bring patio pots inside before frost.

2nd time is the charm

"I lost a few the first time around. I planted more about 5 years ago and now they put on a stunning display. This fall while scratching around to find space for another plant, I discovered that my originals have now produced dozens of ""pups"" which were pushing up to the soil level. They were easily teased out and apart and shared with friends. I think the first time I overestimated just how much drought they could take. This time they are planted in a soil with a decent amount of clay and they have thrived, BUT it is on a slope and in Colorado where we get tons of sun and little rain and light snow, so they are never soggy. (total 15"" of annual precip) Oh and if you have deer, these are great; no browsing at all!"

Rotted due to lack of drainage

"Timing was not good for me and I planted in a container until I had the spot ready. Unfortunately I believe the pot did not drain as well as it should have. It never rooted out. I believe it rotted out instead. Maybe I will try one again next year."

— Mary C. (3/5)
