Louisiana Species 
Hardy anywhere. These magnificent “Beardless Species”, recently discovered in the 
swamps, bayous and marshes of Louisiana, are among the finest of all Beardless Species. 
They are perfectly hardy in the north and while they prefer considerable moisture, they do 
well in any average garden soil, in full sun or semi-shade. Plenty of peat and well rotted 
stable manure will suit them best. They should also prove especially suitable for the water 
garden, provided the water does not freeze around them during the winter.
