Eremurus

Eremurus is a genus of deciduous perennial flowers, also known as the foxtail lilies or desert candles. They are native to eastern Europe ( Russia + Ukraine) and temperate Asia from Turkey + Siberia to China.

The inflorescence looks similar to a long spike or a bottlebrush. It consists of many flowers in copper, bright yellow, snow white, pastel pink, orange or any combination of those colors. The leaves grow in tufts of thin, green, straplike strips. Species are known for thick roots that grow out from a central hub. It is also known for being tall, sometimes rising up to 10 feet over the foliage, depending on the variety. These plants are generally native to western and central Asia, although Eremurus thiodanthus is endemic to the Crimea.
