VULGARIS #DR01 Size: 13cm/up “Dragon Arum”

berries that persist to early fall. The flower has an unpleasant odor for a few days, but the dramatic tropical effect is worth it. [Ht: 24"-36", Bl: VL, Zones: 7 to 10, S] Each 4.95 3 for 12.95 6 for 23.95

EREMURUS Top Size “Fox Tail Lily” or “Desert Candle” These spectacular plants resemble giant candles due to their height and the hundreds of small flowers that open from the bottom upward. Stems are clothed for half their length in flowers. Not difficult to grow; plant shal- low in sandy, rich, well-drained soil. Protect with a winter mulch. Dormant crowns look like a star-shaped tangle of roots. Once planted, they like to remain undis- turbed. Use: border, natural, cut.
E. bungei #EM01 The most widely grown eremurus, prized in the cutflower industry for its long-lasting spikes of primrose-yellow that age to orange and bronze. Introduced in 1834, native to Afghanistan.
