Foxtail Lily Yellow

The Foxtail Lily Yellow, 'Eremurus Stenophylius' produces impressive tall spikes of hundreds of small, yellow, lilylike flowers on a tall stem. These spectacular flowers make a colorful and bold statement in the early summer garden. Towering at the back of the sunny border, the leafless flower stalks grow above green, strap shaped leaves. The roots of the Foxtail Lily must be handled very carefully. The soil should be well drained, so add sufficient sand to heavy clay soils. Although the tubers are winter hardy, a mulch layer is highly recommended.
