A genus of tall flowering plants with spiky flower clusters, native to deserts and dry regions of Asia.
From Greek elements, likely 'eremo-' (desert) combined with another element suggesting plant structure. These are ornamental plants that have been cultivated worldwide despite their desert origins.
Eremurus flowers are beloved by florists, but they're tricky to grow because they've evolved to flower only after experiencing dry dormancy—trying to grow one outside of that pattern is like trying to teach a hibernating bear to stay awake.
