Eremurus robustus

Eremurus robustus, Nothing is more imposing than the giant foxtail lily from the Tien Shan mountains in central asia

A variety that fully lives up to its name: giant steeples bearing in early summer densely packed pale pink flowerspikes growing up to 2m tall. Ah, here indeed is high adventure!

It obviously requires a place towards the back of the border, rising dramatically above other plants. To grow it succesfully it needs a sunny and rather dry location. In windy places the flowering stems will require staking.

Suggestion: plant in the back of the purple and white Alliums like Gladiator and Mount Everest to create a splendid late spring and early summer picture.
