Bring a spectacular eye-catcher to your garden with Eremurus Cleopatra, also known as Cleopatra's Needle. This breathtaking bulb produces impressive, towering flower stems. From early summer, they adorn your border with hundreds of small, orange/salmon-pink star-shaped flowers, which together form a stately, slender spike. The flowers not only attract admiring glances, but also countless bees and butterflies, which feast on the nectar. Even after flowering, the seed pods remain decorative, contributing to the long ornamental value of this special plant. This hardy flower bulb is surprisingly easy to maintain. Plant Eremurus Cleopatra bulbs in autumn (September - November) or early spring (March - April) in a sunny spot. Ensure well-drained, fertile soil to avoid ‘wet feet’. The ideal planting depth is 10-15 cm, with the ‘tentacles’ carefully spread out. Keep a planting distance of at least 40-50 cm to give the plants enough space to develop. Once established, Eremurus needs little additional care.
