Foxtail lily

Hi

None of my foxtail lilies (Eremurus) flowered last year, but hoping for better success in their second year - they seem to be looking promising at the moment...is there anything I can do to increase chances of flowering at this stage?  Last year they just seemed to die back into the ground just when I was hoping they would flower!

    Look pretty healthy to me Worcester. I find they rarely flower first year after planting.

    Eremurus are supposed to die back after flowering midsummerimage

    they indeed look healthy and if it's a new clump they can take 1-3 yrs to flower

    Resist moving or division unless you really have to and only when they are sleeping image
