Description

The Eremurus himalaïcus, also known as the Steppe Lily or Himalayan Foxtail Lily, is a fleshy-rooted perennial plant that forms a clump in summer. It is one of the early varieties of Eremurus. In May, clusters of 70 to 100 cm (28 to 39in) long are composed of hundreds of small white star-shaped flowers, measuring 2 to 3 cm (1in) in diameter. The flowers bloom from bottom to top, allowing the plant to have a flowering over several weeks.

The Desert Lily, native to rocky meadows in Kashmir and the northwest Himalayas, can reach a height of 2 m (7ft). It is a plant adapted to continental climate. The bulb of the Eremurus resembles a small octopus with its 20 cm (8in) diameter. It is more of a tuberous stump composed of roots all around than a bulb. This stump produces ribbon-like leaves (the lamina, the enlarged part of the leaf, resembling a ribbon) measuring 20 to 30 cm (8 to 12in) long. The leaves are deciduous. They wither when the first flowers emerge. That's why it is suitable for perennial flower beds that will hide its base, but the flower bed should not be too compact to avoid suffocating it. It is a plant with excellent hardiness. This species is also the best suited for warmer regions.

This outdoor plant can be found in groups or as an individual specimen. It enhances homes when placed in a vase. It can also be arranged in borders, rock gardens, as well as in containers for small gardens.

Eremurus - Foxtail lily: planting and growing

Read article

Whether you love them or not, it's undeniable that Foxtail Lilies are... effective perennials. Simply put, when in full flowering, they dominate any flowerbed with their gigantic flower spikes, sometimes reaching up to two metres tall, covered in small star-shaped white, pink, yellow, or orange flowers. The colour of the flowers and the height of the spike depend on the botanical species or horticultural cultivar. Foxtail Lilies live up to their name, as they are flowering plants from the Liliaceae family, native to the meadows and steppes of Asia. Their ideal conditions include: plenty of sun, distinct seasons with cold winters, relatively low rainfall, and rich, well-drained soil. With this knowledge, you have all the keys to successfully grow Eremurus. Be warned, though—while Eremurus are easy to care for in the garden, they dislike two things: being moved, so choose their location carefully, and heavy soils that retain too much water in winter. Improve drainage by adding a generous amount of gravel at planting time. I emphasised "perennial" at the start of this introduction because, although sold among bulbs, Cleopatra's Needles (don’t laugh—it’s one of the many names for this perennial) are not bulbs. They are indeed peculiar plants when purchased: a large central bud surrounded by thick, sprawling roots, giving the whole thing the appearance of a dried octopus or some extraterrestrial oddity. Not the most inviting sight, but look past that first impression—plant them, and you won’t regret it!

Planting and care

Plant Eremurus Himalaicus during the months of September-October in a sunny location and sheltered from the wind to prevent damage to the flower stalks. This species is best suited to warm regions. Place it in a rich, fertile, moist but well-drained soil. If the soil is not well-drained enough, you can mix in some sand during planting as well-drained soil promotes better root development. Plant the stumps in autumn at a depth of 7 cm (3in), no more, as it needs to be quickly warmed up when the growing season arrives. Protect the plant from winter moisture, which is fatal to it, by covering it with compost without covering the collar. The young shoots should be protected with a dry mulch. The plant, which is well anchored in the soil, does not require staking. Eremurus can be attacked by slugs, so it is necessary to be careful.
