Eremurus Helena

Description

Eremurus Helena is a pure white ruiter hybrid and makes a stunning display in the summer garden.  They are always a talking point at Hampton Court Palace Show.

Cultivation Instructions

Before planting cultivate the soil to a depth of 15-20cms and dig in organic matter to provide food when they are growing. Create a shallow planting round hole 15-20cm (6-8in) deep and wider than the Eremurus Helena to be planted. The centre of the crown should be positioned on the centre of the crown on a mound of coarse grit, sharp sand or soil, so that the central growing point is just below the soil surface.

Care tips:

Feed regularly during the growing season with high potash and phosphate foods such as bone meal or tomato food.

Plant 12-24″ apart in a well drained soil.
