MONTBRETIAS 
Montbretias resemble miniature gladiolus, are fine for cutting 
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 is beneficial. They will thrive either in partial shade or 
full sunlight, but see that the moisture supply is good at all times.
