Description

Foxtail Lily has been a favorite for years. The flowers are colossal--up to 7 feet tall in several colors. This one is brilliant yellow with orangey highlights. Natives of Afghanistan and Turkistan, foxtail lilies grow so tall they may need staking if in a windy setting. They make great cut flowers, lasting for up to two weeks in an arrangement.'

Comments about American Meadows Eremurus bungei - Root:

Foxtail lilies look great in a rock garden. They add a lot of vertical interest and color mid-season, and bees love them. I paired them with purple Liatris for repetition of shape and contrast in color. I would recommend Eremurus bungei highly.
