Eremurus in pots

Paul B3Paul B3 Posts: 3,154

Has anyone tried Eremurus (Foxtail-lilies) in large terracotta pots? I know all the cultivation techniques with these plants , but have only ever grown them in open sunny borders . Years later , my garden is filled to capacity (so the wife decides to order nine-more (!!) ) ; Their fleshy roots are very brittle , breakage can encourage root-rot.

Does anyone think they would take to pot-culture ? Thanks!

    If you have a huge enough pot in which to spread out the roots of a full grown plant, I can't see why not
