ACHIMENES or Cupid’s Bower 
Few plants can equal the loveliness and appeal of a pot of Achimenes 
in full bloom ... one of the best summer flowering plants for growing in 
pots, hanging baskets and porch boxes. Cupid’s Bower grows well in any 
part of the U. S. except dry, arid regions. They thrive best in partial 
shade along with plenty of warmth and humidity. The tiny tubercles are 
planted from December through April, and bloom from late spring until 
fall. The tiny catkinlike tubercles multiply very rapidly and by the end 
of the first year you will have sufficient increase to plant many additional 
pots the following spring. 
For the best display plant 6 tubercles to a 6” bulb pan.
