1780. Though a native of India, it is quite hardy, and requires no other care than scattering the seeds on rock- 
work, or in any dry sandy soil. The flowers are produced in great abundance, growing in little round tufts 
only an inch or two from the ground. The seeds should not be sown in the open ground till the latter end of 
April or even May, but they may be sown on a slight hotbed in February or March.
