These are lovely Spring Flowering Plants. A partially shaded position is the most suitable for 
them, as they sutler from the heat of the sun ; cold does not harm them, but sun-heat predisposes 
them to attacks of red spider, then the foliage dies away and the plants becorne weak, therefore 
shade from sunshine, mulch in June with leaf-mould, water in dry weather occasionally then enjoy 
the results in lovely tufts of bloom in Spring. When a position is found which suits these little gems, 
leave them in it undisturbed.
