Cult. All the species of this genus are elegant, and therefore 
well fitted for decorating flower borders. They grow well in 
common garden earth, but prefer a dry sandy soil. The seeds 
of annual species require only to be sown in the open border, 
where they are intended to remain. The perennial kinds are 
readily propagated by division of the root, or by seeds. The Z. 
alpina, L. supina, L. trístis, and some others, are well fitted" for 
ornamenting rock-work, or to be grown on dry banks, or in pots, 
and placed among other alpine plants; these in winter require 
to be sheltered from the frost, as well as all those marked frame 
or greenhouse. A great part of the species are readily increased 
by the surculi, which will strike root readily if planted in sand ; 
and all are to be increased by seed.
