What customers say
Customer sentiment for the Eremurus Shelford Hybrid Mix is strongly divided, centering entirely on successful establishment. Buyers are initially impressed by the healthy, high quality of the bulbs received. However, overall satisfaction hinges on the challenging growth process inherent to this genus. Many report frustrating low emergence rates, often due to bulb rot in damp soil, even when planting instructions are followed. Those who achieve successful blooms find the resulting towering, vibrant foxtail lilies spectacular and worth the effort. This product is best suited for intermediate or expert gardeners who possess the specific cultural knowledge, particularly regarding excellent drainage, needed to cultivate this sensitive plant successfully.
