Montbretias 
Large flowering varieties only 
These magnificent New Montbretias are a great improvement on the older 
varieties, being taller and more robust, while the flowers are of much greater size 
and beauty, some of them measuring 3 inches across. These lovely flowers with 
their elegant and branched spikes are not only sweet cutflowers, but their charm- 
ing habit as garden varieties, their vivid, warm orange colourings will give the 
most effective satisfaction when planted in groups from 6 to 12 in the border. 
Culture: It is absolutely necessary to give them a sunny place and a well 
drained position. The best time for planting is during March and April at a depth 
of at least 3 inches and 2 inches apart. They like a deep well-drained loamy soil 
enriched with leaf mould.
