Eremurus Cleopatra, an impressive flower
Eremurus Cleopatra, better known as the Desert Candle or Needle of Cleopatra is an enchanting feature in any summer garden. This stately summer bloomer, with its impressive height of about 125 cm, immediately attracts attention with its long pink flowers that bloom from June to August.
Origin and species
Eremurus originated in the arid and mountainous regions of western and central Asia. There, these plants have adapted to the challenging conditions. Cleopatra is one of many species of Eremurus, each with its own colour and shape. They are all known for their long spikes full of flowers.
Unique features
Eremurus Cleopatra is a beautiful soft colour. Orange and salmon tones can be seen in the petals. The yellow core of pollen thread makes it special. Eremurus Cleopatra gives a warm glow in the border. It is a great addition on its own but also between perennials.
Planting and care of the Desert Candle
Planting Eremurus tubers is best done in spring. Choose a sunny spot, as these plants flower most abundantly in full sun. Start with a spacious planting hole, loosen the soil and mix in some good potting soil. Carefully place the tubers at a depth of 3-5 cm with a planting distance of about 50 cm. Water them immediately after planting. Be alert for late night frosts, as Eremurus is sensitive to them. Therefore, do not plant until May.
Support and combinations
Sometimes the long flower stems need some support, especially when they are in full bloom. Combine Eremurus Cleopatra with other perennials or different eremurus species to create a dynamic and diverse garden experience.
Desert candle as cut flower
Eremurus does well not only in the garden, but also in a vase. It is an excellent cut flower that stays beautiful for a long time. Preferably cut the flowers early in the day and put them immediately in lukewarm water with cut flower food for the best shelf life.

After flowering, you can dig up the tubers and store them in a frost-free spot. This way, you can enjoy the beautiful Eremurus Cleopatra year after year. With the right care, every summer will be a celebration of colour and height, with this Desert Lantern adding a natural elegance to any garden.
