Eremurus Shelford Bulbs

Eremurus Shelford is our new favorite weirdo, with tall spikes that look like funky little critter tails that point subtly this way and that, covered in tiny star-shaped peach-pink flowers that open slowly from bottom to top - putting on a great show. Plus, they are perennial, multiply nicely, attract pollinators, and can sing in 4-part harmony with a bit of training (maybe).

Includes 3 bulbs.

Growing Info

How to Plant	Dig a hole and tuck your bulbs in, pointy side up, about 6" deep (roughly 3 times the size of the bulbs) and about 18" apart. Now fill in the soil, give it a few solid pats so it compresses around the bulbs, then give it a long drink of water. Mark that pot or spot with your wooden plant marker so you know where your flowers live now. Wait for spring
