Foxtail lily (Eremurus spp.): Once the blooms are done on the central spikes should the spikes be cut down?
What is the green ball-like growth now on the spikes?
Answer
Once your lilies have bloomed, the flower stalk should be removed. The green ball-like growth at the end of the stalk is a seed pod. If left to grow, it will reduce the vigor of the plant and result in poor growth in the future.
