Arranging Tip:
Eremuri are very tall and long-lasting, an excellent choice for arranging. Use fresh eremuri for their height in flower arrangements. As the bottom blossoms fade and are pinched away, cut the stern down and reuse in medium or short combinations. With proper care, eremuri can last as long as three weeks, and can be enjoyed at all stages, See also flower arranging tip, 15. 
 
Growing Tip:
Eremuri are mostly grown by professionals for the cut flower trade and are rarely used as a garden plant. The spectacular tall spikes bloom in early spring, reaching up to as much as nine feet in height. This flower blooms before most of the other tall plants in the garden, so you can have a striking early border for other spring bulbs. Eremuri can last up to three weeks in the garden. The first shoots that appear in the early spring are frost sensitive, so cover with protective mulch until frost is no longer a danger. See flower growing tip, 12.
