Eremurus ~ Foxtail Lily
When the foxtail lilies are blooming, visitors want to know what they are and how to grow them. Foxtail lilies are a summer blooming bulb that are planted in the spring. They are listed as zone 5, but have survived three winters in my zone 4 garden (with last winter being a record cold winter). These are also know by the name Desert Candles.
Growing information:
Hardy zone 5- 8
Bloom time - early summer
Height - 3 to 5 feet
Full sun and well drained soil required
