HYACINTHUS CANDICANS
An excellent companion to Delphiniums, Salvias, and perennial Lobelias
in the mixed border. The stately spikes of this flower also associate
well with shrubs, and help to enliven a bed of Rhododendrons at a period
of the year when the latter is uninteresting. Roots may be planted in
any soil from November to March; and, as they are perfectly hardy, they
can be left in the open ground all the year without the least misgiving
as to their safety. A strong root will produce a succession of
flower-spikes, and this tendency will be assisted by cutting off each
spike immediately it has ceased to be attractive.
