niger altifolius multiflorus Seedlings

plants which show the characteristics of 
the parent plants. Flowering size plants,

summer months but being in the light 
during the fall and winter months. They 
will thrive in a soil of rich loam, coarse

of well-rotted manure. Prefer a moist, 
but well-drained position. They resent
