Cult. Pharbitis is a genus of very showy, tender, annual, 
twining plants. They should be reared in a hot-bed ; and when 
the plants are of sufficient size, they should be planted into 
other pots, and afterwards shifted from size to size of pots as 
they grow; and some of them may be tried in the open ground, 
in a warm sheltered situation. A light, rich soil, or a mixture 
of loam and decayed leaves suits them best.
