EREMURUS IN THE MIDDLE LANE
In order to successfully grow eremurus in the middle lane, several conditions must be observed.
CHOOSE THE "RIGHT" TYPE
Before buying, be sure to clarify what type the plant belongs to. Recently, a large number of varietal eremurus from Western Europe have appeared on the Russian market, which, alas, are relatively stable in our climate. For planting in the middle lane, the following types of plants can be recommended.

FEATURES OF LANDING EREMURUS
The ideal time for planting eremurus is September. A plant planted during this period will have time to adapt before the onset of frost.
The most common cause of death is decay. Eremurus does not tolerate stagnant moisture at the roots. In areas with a high level of groundwater, it is imperative to make drainage and loosen the soil with sand and peat. There should not be a lot of organic matter in the soil, otherwise the eremurus will not bloom.
EREMURUS - COMPETENT CARE
Plant care consists of watering and fertilizing. It is best to water only before flowering and in the complete absence of rain during this period. Completely stop it after the start of flowering.
Feeding should be carried out with small doses of fertilizer, as overfed plants bloom poorly.
During the season, eremurus can be fertilized three times.
In spring, top dressing with a complete complex mineral fertilizer, applying 10 g per 10 liters of water in the first year after planting and 20 g per 10 liters in subsequent years. Top dressing is carried out by watering under the root.
During the period of the appearance of peduncles - a complex fertilizer with a predominance of nitrogen and potassium.
Granules are embedded in the soil (40 g per 1 sq. M), and then watering is carried out. Water-soluble fertilizers are used at a dose of 10 g per 10 liters of water, top dressing is applied by watering under the root at the rate of 5 liters per plant.
At the end of summer, after flowering, potassium-phosphorus fertilizer is used (10 g per 10 liters of water, 5 liters of solution per plant).
The rhizomes of eremurus can be dug up not every year, but once every 2-3 years, if it is necessary to separate the resulting children. If after the end of flowering the rainy season begins, the soil must be loosened, but carefully so as not to damage the bottom and roots.
THE WINTERING OF EREMURUS
If in warm regions the eremurus winters without shelter, then when grown in the middle lane, frost protection is required. After a stable negative temperature is established, the plants are covered with a layer of straw, dry foliage, and on top with spruce branches or spunbond. In winter, it is advisable to additionally sprinkle the eremurus with snow.
In the spring, when a positive night temperature is established, the shelter is removed, but it is important to ensure that the sprouts that appear do not fall under the return frosts.

Many flower growers believe that eremurus do not winter well, so they need to be dug up for the winter and stored in a cool place, and planted in the garden in the spring.
I strongly disagree with this.
My many years of experience in growing these unusual flowers showed that they are quite hardy. So, in one of the cold winters, I had several forgotten specimens of one of my favorite varieties left on the surface of the soil. I remembered them only in January, when there was no snow yet, and the frosts were down to -27 degrees. It was not possible to go to the dacha, and in April a surprise awaited me - quite alive and rooted to the soil of the Nedonets. All I had to do was cover them with earth. In the summer, these eremurus also bloomed, but a little later than the specimens planted on time. My beauties did not suffer from spring frosts.
The main condition for growing eremurus is to choose the most sunny and dry place. I practically do not water my plants - they have enough natural rainfall. On sandy and sandy soils, they work especially well. When planting in clay areas, it is necessary to add sand to the soil or make a “cushion” under the root, and also pour it on top. From dressings I use only "Kemira Universal". I bring it in early in the spring in the snow (30-40 g / sq.m), as well as when preparing a new place for eremurus. I do not recommend using organic fertilizers, as they weaken the resistance of plants to diseases.
