Description

Add a towering, architectural masterpiece to your landscape with our Foxtail Lily seeds. Also known as the Desert Candle, this spectacular evergreen perennial produces massive, bottle-brush flower spikes that can reach heights of 6 to 9 feet. The stems are covered in hundreds of tiny, nectar-rich blooms that open from the bottom up, creating a dramatic "candle" effect. Native to the dry, stony slopes of Central and Western Asia, these hardy giants are a favorite for pollinators and provide a stunning vertical accent to any sunny garden or xeriscape. Despite their native range, Foxtail Lily's are hardy across most of the U.S. in Zones 5–9 as long as they have excellent drainage.
