This is a very beautiful species, hardy 

 and perennial ; a native of Caucasus^, also 

 of Transylvania, according to Sprengel. 

 In pots our plants are rather more than a 

 foot in height, but in the full ground would 

 probably attain to double that size. The 

 flowers come out in June and July. It will 

 grow in any good soil, and may be increased 

 by seeds.
