years the hybridizers have worked won- 
ders with this plant to give it more color 
variations and add grace to the flower 
spikes. They are evergreen in the South

years. In the North they should be lifted 
and stored in a warm place during the 
Winter and replanted in the Spring. De- 
livery Sept. to March.

combination that is rare among flowers.
