Eremerus spp--Fox-tail Lily
Height: 8 ft Spacing: 18 in
Type: hardy bulb
Flowers: Orange, white, yellow
Comments: Several species of Eremerus can be used as
garden flowers. Depending on the species, the flower
spikes (Vis. 1) can be only 4 feet tall or up to 8 feet.
The main ornamental feature is the tall spikes of flowers
that are borne in early to mid-summer. Provide a sunny
growing area having a well-drained soil. A mulch for winter
protection is suggested. The plant resents being
disturbed once it becomes established.
