Watering

Keep soil moderately moist in growth, dry during dormancy

Fertilizing

Low phosphate feed every month before flower stalk emergence

Pruning

Unless seeds are required, spent flower spikes can be cut down at the base

Propagation

Propagate by seed, or by division of mature plants, taking care to minimise root disturbance. Plants grown from seed may vary, and may take 3-5 years to flower

Growing

Grow in fertile, free draining soil, in a sunny position with plenty of root space. May need staking in windy sites. Mulch with garden compost in autumn, but avoid covering the crown. Needs winter cold to flower, but protect young spring growth from frost. See eremurus cultivation for more detailed advice
