This comparatively new perennial from northern China has been found hardy in the United States. We recommend, however, a liberal mulching where left out during winter. The tubers may be lifted in autumn and stored in the same manner as Dahlias and replanted in spring. The foliage resembles that of the Acanthus, while the blossoms appear like clusters of pink Gloxinias. It is extremely decorative and quite easily grown. (See illustration below.)
