They grow from two, to two and a half feet in height, and each branch is literal- ly covered with great, drooping bell-shaped flowers, often two inches or more in diame- ter, in delicate shades of blue, pink, flesh and white, and borne in such wonderful profusion as to completely cover the plant, making it a great pyramid of bloom.
