Eremurus Robustus
M5315
Description
Make a statement in the garden with the lofty spires of breathtaking Eremurus ‘Robustus’.
Racemes of star-shaped, blush-pink flowers open from the bottom of each flowering stem upwards. The spikes reach up to 2m tall and are excellent for cutting – just a few stems in a large vase creates an impactful, long-lasting display.
Known as Fox Tail Lilies, Eremurus thrive in sandy, light soils which are well-drained, in an area of garden which receives plenty of sun.
Eremurus ‘Robustus’ has been granted an Award of Garden Merit by the RHS for its exceptional garden qualities and bold, dreamy looks.
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.
