Eremurus ‘Joanna’

Eremurus are summer dormant and often struggle through wet summers. The glorious E. ‘Joanna’ is stronger than most and copes well in our maritime climate. The flower spikes are huge, each one composed of hundreds of star-shaped, white flowers with a yellow eye. ‘Joanna’ looks best grown with taller perennials and shrubs. When planting, make a hole 10cm deep that is wide enough to accommodate the star-shaped crowns, add sharp grit and then cover, ensuring the bud of the crown is just nosing the surface. AGM.
