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