ACHIMENES 
(pronounced a-kim'-en-ees) 
These dainty and floriferous little plants are fast be¬ 
coming better known and more widely grown in the 
United States, where they deserve much more attention 
than they have been receiving. They are easy pot plants 
for summer, for the shady porch or window box, and for 
the greenhouse and conservatory. 
Their culture is fairly easy, and propagation is quite 
rapid. The only pests noted in Florida are red spiders, 
which may be controlled by spraying with water, or 
dusting with sulphur. 
The plants grow from little tubercles or “catkin-like” 
tubers on the roots, which are planted about an inch 
deep in the potting soil during March and April. The 
soil should be a leaf mold loam, with some sand, and a 
small portion of well rotted cow manure added. An 
inch of drainage crocks or gravel should be placed in 
the bottom of the pots. The plants are related to the 
Gloxinias and Gesneras, but are more easily grown by 
the amateur. In Florida and the deep South, they may 
be seen in many gardens and decorating many porches 
during the summer months. 
The foliage is handsome dark green or reddish green, 
and the flowers are profusely produced in season. The 
blooms range from pure white through purple, bluish 
shades, lavender, and more rarely pink, red and maroon. 
Achimenes are well known and very popular in England 
and on the continent, such firms as Suttons and John 
Peed’s having long lists of excellent varieties in the 
greenhouse catalogues. 
Careful watering is advised until the grower learns the 
requirements of the plant, but with adequate drainage, 
it is difficult to give them too much when they are grow¬ 
ing actively and during this period they should never 
be allowed to get dry enough to wilt. In the late Fall 
the plants are dried off in their pots and stored. The 
flowers are round and pansy-shaped and have a long 
tube, and are utterly charming and beautiful. 
Achimenes tubercles are available from December to 
April. 
We offer several different colors and types, as below:
