Montbretias 
Montbretias resemble miniature gladiolus, 
are fine for cutting, and excellent for border 
planting. They prefer a light, loamy soil, 
well enriched with leaf-mold, but no manure 
or chemical fertilizer should touch the roots. 
A little bonemeal and a light top-dressing of 
Iime is beneficial. They will thrive either in 
partial shade or full sunlight, but see that 
the moisture supply is good at all times.
