Common name foxtail lily Family asphodelaceae Life cycle perennial Flowers pinkish orange (May-June) Size 5' Light sun-part shade Cultural notes ordinary garden soil From seed I can't seem to grow eremurus from seed. Several attempts yielded seedlings that were promising, but invariably, the foliage just died down in late spring, and the plants never returned. The impressive flower spikes open their blossoms from the bottom upwards. Foliage is like a cross between big-bladed grass and daylilies.

Foliage pushing up in early April

In our garden, this plant grows in the following areas: side garden, bogside border, the lane
