blooms is becoming more popular each year. It grows and 
blooms in shady places, under trees, in beds, in porch boxes, 
or tubs, in places where other flowers will not thrive. For a 
long blooming season start the tubers indoors not later than 
March. They will be ready to set out in beds, porch boxes,
