Their flowers are of the largest in cultivation, and 
sometimes measure 8 to 10 inches in diameter. They do 
best in rich, moist soil, which must be well drained, as water 
standing over them in Winter is fatal. When used in 
connection with the Fleur-de-lis, the flowering season is 
greatly extended, as the Japanese varieties do not bloom 
until late in June. We offer these in separate varieties 
with flowers in varying shades of white, blue, purple and 
violet.
