To those who possess no greenhouse this good-looking 
pe from the valley of Cashmere, will be welcome ; for its 
arge pale lilac flowers remain for a considerable time in 
beauty. 
It is a hardy perennial plant, growing about two feet high, 
and flowering in July and August. It requires a rich light 
soll, and a situation which is rather dry in winter. 
It is increased, when the plants are old, by dividing the 
roots in spring, or from seeds; but it grows slowly when 
young, and will not flower before the second year after the 
seed is sown. 
Our drawing was made in the garden of the Horticultural 
Society, where it was raised from seeds received from Dr. 
Royle.
