They are well-known border plants, but are also very fine as pot- plants. They do not require artificial heat. In good soil, with plenty of water, they grow rapidly in summer ; even in w^inter they should not be dried off. When they get too large they can be divided. They can also be propagated by pegging down in small pots the plantlets which are formed on the long stalks after flowering. Bought seed is sometimes disappointing, but if it can be procured as soon as it is.
