Planting eremurus tubers

The star-shaped tuber or root has long, fleshy stems that resemble a squid. Eremurus does well in any type of soil, provided it is not too wet. When planting, make sure the roots are well spread out and the tubers are not too deep. The tubers can be planted from October through April. If the corms are going into the ground for the winter, it is advisable to protect the corms from frost by covering the soil. Eremurus like a light, sunny position. Tip: mix some sharp sand or fine gravel into the planting hole for heavy soil types.

History of the eremurus

Eremurus is primarily native to central and western Asia. It often grows at high altitudes and mountainous terrain, on dry rocky slopes. In Greek, "eremos" means alone and "oura" tail. A reference to its location and flowering form. In the second half of the 19th century, a Russian botanist and plant collector Olga Fedtschenko gave her name to the species Olgae. By the firm Van Tubergen (tubergenii) hybrids were won in 1907 and by P. Voet (x himrob) from Overveen in 1903. By Sir Michael Forster of Great Shelford, England around this time the Shelford hybrids were also given names. In 1950 the Ruiter hybrids were bred by Klaas de Ruyter from Uitgeest.
