“The hardiness of Tri- 
teleia is not well estab- 
lished here, but I’m still 
trying to find a protected 
spot where snow, ice, and 
30 degrees below zero do 
not harm them. ERAN- 
THUS, however, is deti- 
nitely hardy. I’ve had it 
for 20 years. It is a de- 
lightful little spring 
flower, never fails, en- 
dures dryness, 3,000 ft. 
altitude, and sub-zero. It 
will multiply by sowing 
its own seed, but does 
much better by gathering 
the fresh seed and throw- 
ing it in some out-of-the- 
way corner unmolested 
and forgetting them. In a 
couple of years there is a 
whole new colony, with 
their quaint Sir Walter 
Raleigh ruffs.”
