Eremurus Shelford Pink

Though known by many names, this unique perennial is universally admired for its unusual form, summery colors and impressive height. Eremerus, also known as Foxtail Lily or Desert Candle, bears hundreds of tiny, star-shaped florets along dramatic, upright spikes from late spring to early summer in full sun. Shelford Pink, our newest addition, is a salmon-pink selection that looks amazing when planted in groups along back borders, in cutting beds or charming butterfly gardens. Suggest them as exotic cut flowers to your gardening customers. Though the flower heads are quite showy, eremerus is easy to grow and maintain. A great naturalizer, returning yearly with excellent regularity.
