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 
lime is beneficial. They will thrive either in 
partial shade or full sunlight, but see that the 
moisture supply is good at all times.
