The dragon's head grows best in a rich, light soil 

 and when permitted to have plenty of sunlight.

 ing in the garden but the flowers are beautiful when 

 picked in quantities and put in a vase. It should be 

 planted in places where it can spread in order to 

 have plants enough for a generous supply of cut 

 flowers.

 soil and it should be planted in a sunny location.

 When grown in clusters it is extremely pretty and 

 three or four plants about three inches apart will 

 make a pretty little clump.

 summer. It should be sown every few weeks 

 from February to August. The plants are easy for 

 the amateur to raise from seed.
