Eremurus Shelford Bulbs

Name: Eremurus Shelford Bulbs
Brand: Plantgem
SKU: ER-SF-B
Price: 30.0 USD
Availability: OutOfStock

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 in a cloth bag with planting instructions and a wooden label stake.

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
