Pacific Northwest Gardening: Success with Eremurus?, 1 by

I have some that appear to be thriving. They bloomed last year and made it through the winter. They are in full sun (full for my yard anyhow) and underneath a huge douglas fir tree, so they don't get much water. They have excellent drainage. Also, I know they hate having their roots disturbed and tend to sulk a bit after being planted. The roots should be planted where the center bud is slightly higher than the 'legs' of the root, which should be spread in a circle. My biggest problem is remembering not to disturb the roots when planting annuals in that area. I dig with my fingers. Some of mine did not bloom last year and these were smaller when planted. Last year they bloomed in the middle of June.
