Notes

'Brutus' foxtail lily (Eremurus 'Brutus') is a bulb for borders, cut flowers, and cottage gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy or loamy soil. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first. Tall flower spikes open in early to late summer and draw butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and birds.

Pairs well with Feather reed grass, Casa Blanca lily, and Little bluestem.
