This is a large genus containing many hardy and tender annual, biennial, and perennial species. It is unneces-sary to describe any here save those which are hardy herbaceous perennials. Some of the dwarfer of these last may be effectively used in the rock garden. All require the ordinary culture usually bestowed on perennials and rock plants, and succeed in common garden soil. They may be propagated by summer sown seeds or root division in the spring, and are best planted about the middle of March.
