Eremurus 'Yellow Giant'


('productnameshort')

Eremurus 'Yellow Giant' is a true exclamation point with thick spires of intensely yellow flowers that can reach 10 feet tall!


Description:
If Eremurus is a plant for making a statement, 'Yellow Giant' is an exclamation point with thick spires of intensely yellow flowers that can grow to 10 feet tall! 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.
