which covers the months of May and June.

main in bloom for a long season, and are

particular as to soil or location, although

well-drained, sunny position, and usually 
make themselves at home in any hardy 
border or rockery. Their period of flowering 
covers the late spring and early summer 
months.

shade. Large clumps of plants, 50c each;

lie de France. A very popular, shrub-like
