Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Eremurus 'Oase' has tall, fragrant spires of pale pink flowers that fade to soft yellow, with strap-like, spotted, blue-green foliage. Dramatic and unusual. 'Oase' is the Dutch word for Oasis. Eremurus needs rich soil with excellent drainage, and sun that reaches the foliage while in growth and bakes the roots when plants go dormant after flowering. Roots are shaped like an octopus, worth ordering for that reason alone, but are fragile and do not like to be disturbed after planting.
