Giant Flowering Varieties 
Montbretias resemble miniature gladiolus, are fine for cut¬ 
ting and excellent for border planting. They prefer a light loamy 
soil, well enriched with leaf mould, but no manure or chemical 
fertilizer should touch the roots; a little bone meal and a light top 
dressing of lime should prove beneficial. They will thrive either in 
partial shade or full sunlight, but see that the moisture supply is 
good at all times.
