Cult. All the shrubby species are well fitted for decorating 
rockwork; they prefer a dry chalky or gravelly soil, and are 
readily increased by cuttings, seeds, or by division. Those spe- 
cies belonging to the first section being natives of the Canary 
Islands are properly greenhouse plants. The seeds of annual 
kinds only require to be sown in the open ground in Spring m 
dry light soil.
