species and hybrids with a wide range of types and habits. We are not offering the tuberous varieties grown solely for their large flowers, but a<br />
range oí beautiíuI species and hybrids which deserve to be more wideIy known. l'1any have showy ílowers as weIl as attractive foliage.<br />
They will withstand a wide range of light levels but avoid excessive sun or shade. The temperature should be kept to a minimum oí l0' c (50 " D .<br />
The tompost should be moist but do not over-tvater. feed reguIarIy during the growing season with a well baIanced fertiIiser. for ease oÍ description<br />
