'White Perfection' is an especially elegant variety, combining considerable height with clean white flowers that work easily alongside almost any other colour scheme.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe flowers are densely arranged around strong vertical stems, creating tapering spires that stand well above the foliage. Plant several together and the effect becomes particularly impressive, with the flower spikes creating strong structure without appearing heavy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFlowers in Early Summer\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEremurus 'White Perfection' flowers during \u003cstrong\u003eJune and July\u003c\/strong\u003e, when its tall spikes emerge above the surrounding border. Individual spikes can contain several hundred small flowers, which gradually open to create a prolonged display.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe white blooms make an excellent contrast with purple, blue and deep red perennials, while their height allows them to rise above lower-growing plants towards the middle or back of a border.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere to Plant Eremurus 'White Perfection'\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eChoose a \u003cstrong\u003esunny, sheltered position\u003c\/strong\u003e, ideally protected from strong winds that could damage the tall flowering stems. Good drainage is essential. Eremurus dislike sitting in cold, wet soil, particularly during winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA fertile, free-draining border is ideal. Heavy soils should be improved generously with grit or other drainage material before planting. Eremurus are also excellent choices for gravel gardens and raised beds where drainage is naturally better.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to Plant Eremurus Tubers\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEremurus have distinctive fleshy, spider-like roots radiating from a central crown and should be handled carefully when planting. Dig a wide, shallow planting hole so the roots can be spread out naturally without bending or breaking them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePosition the crown relatively shallowly and cover carefully with soil. Allow approximately \u003cstrong\u003e30-60cm between plants\u003c\/strong\u003e so mature specimens have room to develop. Incorporating well-rotted organic matter into the surrounding soil will help provide the rich growing conditions they prefer, but avoid creating a moisture-retaining pocket directly beneath the crown.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHeight and Spread\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e'White Perfection' reaches approximately \u003cstrong\u003e125cm tall\u003c\/strong\u003e when flowering and develops a spread of around \u003cstrong\u003e45-60cm\u003c\/strong\u003e. Its considerable height makes it a natural choice for the middle or back of a herbaceous border.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough tall, the flower spikes remain relatively narrow, so several plants can be used together to create a striking vertical display without overwhelming neighbouring perennials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCaring for Foxtail Lilies\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWater plants during prolonged dry periods while they are actively growing, but avoid keeping the soil permanently wet. The foliage naturally begins to die back as the flowering period progresses, and this should not be mistaken for a problem with the plant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEstablished plants are best left undisturbed wherever possible. A sheltered site is particularly useful for taller cultivars such as 'White Perfection', although stems can be discreetly supported if the garden is exposed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Grow Eremurus 'White Perfection'?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpectacular brilliant white flower spikes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEach spike can carry hundreds of individual flowers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImpressive height of approximately 125cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlowers during June and July\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrong architectural shape\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcellent vertical accent for mixed borders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePairs easily with almost any flower colour\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal for sunny, well-drained gardens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen does Eremurus 'White Perfection' flower?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIt normally flowers during June and July, producing tall spikes covered with numerous small white flowers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow tall does Eremurus 'White Perfection' grow?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIt reaches approximately 125cm tall when in flower.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the spread of Eremurus 'White Perfection'?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA mature plant can develop a spread of approximately 45-60cm, so allow plenty of room around the crown when planting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes Eremurus need full sun?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes. Foxtail Lilies perform best in a warm, sunny position. A site sheltered from strong winds is also beneficial for their tall flower spikes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat soil does Eremurus prefer?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nPlant in fertile, rich but very well-drained soil. Excellent drainage is particularly important during the dormant winter period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow far apart should Eremurus be planted?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nAllow approximately 30-60cm between plants. Their fleshy roots spread out horizontally and need sufficient space to establish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan Eremurus be grown in heavy clay?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nHeavy soil can be problematic because Eremurus crowns are susceptible to excessive winter moisture.
