related to P. cucullatum, and a little to P. cordatum.
It is a hardy free grower and an abundant bloomer,
beginning to flower early in spring and continuing in
bloom till late in autumn, when its variegated flowers
make a pleasing appearance. A mixture of turfy loam
and peat suits it very well, or any rich vegetable mould;
and cuttings soon strike root, planted under handglasses
or in pots placed in a sheltered situation.
