Pallida Section 
In the Pallida Section the foliage is large and handsome, the stems tall, and the 
flowers very large and usually in one or two shades of blue or purple. All are fragrant. 
For fine groups among other flowers or in front of shrubs they are the very best. Plant 
a foot apart each way. At the end of not more than three years reset them, using only 
the most vigorous single outside shoots. Replant in early fall or winter, where feasible. 
A winter top-dressing or a summer mulch of well-rotted manure is of value.
