EXACUM 
Provides a most useful pot plant. Numerous small dark lavender 
flowers with golden yellow stamens contrast wonderfully with the 
light green leaves. Seed sown in January or February flower in 
June and continue uninterruptedly until the autumn. To obtain 
the best results, plant two plants in each pot. Rich soil of leaf mould 
and turfy loam in equal parts, with some sand added, is most 
suitable for its cultivation, which from the end of March must be 
carried out either in a cold frame or a well ventilated greenhouse, 
with the minimum of shade. Exacum Affine is a fragrant and 
charming indoor plant. As a cheap market plant, it is worthy of 
notice.
