Hardy Perennial 



This lovely plant is of eas- 

 iest culture and should have 

 a place in every hardy border 

 or rock-garden. Although it 

 will do well in an average 

 garden loam, best results are 

 obtained if grown in a rich, 

 porous and moderately moist 

 soil in a sunny, sheltered po- 

 sition. Where rigid "winters 

 prevail, a light cover of dry 

 leaves or straw is required.
