A most beautiful plant when well grown and in full flower. It 

 requires a thoroughly drained pocket in the rockery and a rough 

 gravelly soil with plenty of stones mixed with it ; it grows away 

 freely in this and flowers well. It is only biennial but seeds freely ; 

 the seed germinates well in ordinary soil, but the young plants 

 must soon be transplanted into grit. Whenever I have planted it 

 in rich or even ordinary soil it has been more or less a failure
