Title: Eremurus aitchinsoni flowering now
Post by: Gerard Oud on May 29, 2009, 12:19:24 PM

Here the flowers i want to share with other forummembers, my Eremurus aitchinsonii which go up till almost 2,5m.
I do have a white selection that snails dont like that much.

By the way i do have some for sale too!

Gerard,

Wow!!  :o :o  Fabulous, aren't they?  I used to grow Eremurus years ago, until I lost them through neglect when I was sick.  They did really well for me in pots providing I repotted them each year.  Such a great flower spike, isn't it?  Thanks for the pics and the reminder of them.  They certainly do look happy for you. 8)

Thank you Lesley. No i do only grow the aitchisonii and a bit smaller and whiter selection from these that is also a bit "resistent" to snails.
