Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Eremurus 'Romance' has tall, stately spires of salmon pink flowers that appear as strap-like green foliage begins to die back. Dramatic and unusual. 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.
