Our drawing of this pretty little plant, was taken
at the Nursery of Mr. Colvill, King’s Road, Chelsea;
Where it continues to flower nearly all the Summer.
Jt is a neat little plant, and will thrive well on rock-
work, or at the edge of flower borders, in a light sandy
soil, m a dryish situation, and being of small growth
It requires but little room. It might also be cultivated
with advantage in small pots. Being a native of
Austria, it is quite hardy, and is more liable to siifTer
from damp than from cold ; it may be increased from
cuttings, taken oflTin a young state, and planted under
a hand-glass, where they will soon strike ro o t; it also
ripens seeds, which should be sown as soon as gathered,
and they will soon make nice young plants.
