The Eremurus should be in the ground to develop roots for the winter. They prefer well-drained, sunny locations. It will take about 3 years for blooms to appear.

Last year I had 2 blooms, this year 6. http://www.grovestreet.com/jsp/onepic.jsp?id=73060

I planted one this last season, and it has bloomed beautifully. It was the pink one, kind of peachy. Was in my peach-of-a-garden. Gave it full sun, and planted it on a base of sand as recommended, since I have hard clay soil, though it has been amended a lot.
