Cult. These plants grow best in a mixture of loam, sand, and 
peat, and young cuttings of the stove and green-house perennials 
and shrubs will root freely if planted in sand under a bell-glass. 
The annual species may be sown in pots and plunged in a gentle 
hot-bed, and when the plants have attained two or three inches 
in height, they should be planted separately into small pots, and 
shifted from time to time as they grow, and about the end of 
June they may be removed into the green-house, where they will 
ripen their seed : or they may be planted out in the open border 
about the end of May, in front of a south wall. 
Native of Cuba.
