Cleopatra Foxtail Lily (Eremurus or Desert Candle) is a must-have for the early summer garden. Rising on stalks 4-5 ft. tall, the lovely orange flowers open from the bottom up, to reveal a delicate red stripe penciled along the mid-rib of each petal. Long lasting flowers and great as a cut flower, the plant will develop into a clump with many flower stalks over time. Plant Eremurus in a sunny spot in enriched well-drained soil (they don’t like soggy feet!). Keep soil moist during growth and flowering, after flowering water may be reduced. They will naturalize well when happy and put on a breathtaking display each year. The foliage is strap-like and withers back during flowering so plant foxtail among groundcovers, ornamental grasses or other perennials. Protect from wind if possible and plant in groups of 5 or more for best effect. Hummingbirds and butterflies love the flowers and deer and critters leave it alone. It’s a hardy, easy-care plant once established. Mulch in the fall in colder areas. 4-5' tall x 18-24" wide.
