varieties have a robust tall habit with large campanulatc open flowers. All are very effective 
in flower and shrubbery borders, and most valuable for wild gardens and woodlands, where 
they should he largely naturalised ; they seed freely and quickly establish themselves. They 
also make charming pot-plants, and may be forced into bloom by March. Wood Hyacinths

desert-like appearance in the flower garden can by their use he rendered bright and cheerful.
