Candle Flower

Eremurus robustus

Description

Herbaceous plant with pink candle-shaped flowers that create color columns. Ideal for dry gardens.

Growing tips

The Foxtail Lily requires full sun exposure, with a minimum of 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day, and should be planted in autumn in well-drained, sandy soil to prevent the roots from rotting due to excess moisture. Watering should be sparse, especially during summer and winter dormancy, as it tolerates drought very well and is frost-hardy down to -10°C. Place it in an outdoor garden where it can reach its full height of up to 2 metres and display its pink flower spikes in spring and early summer.
