V native of Virginia and Carolina, where 

 it grows in fields, but with us it requires a 

 little more protection. It has flourished 

 for several years here, at the edge of a 

 border close to the front of a stove, planted 

 in sandy peat earth. In this situation it 

 flowers in succession from April till the end 

 of the summer. 



It increases itself by offsets, and is well 

 deserving of cultivation, being a shewy and 

 beautiful plant.
