Eremurus ‘Shelford Pink’ has tall, stately spires up to 4-6 feet tall of pink to salmon pink flowers that appear as the 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.
