Ipomopsis

Ipomopsis - Graceful biennials from California, thriving in light, dry, and warm soils in the milder districts. There are three kinds; each forms a tuft of finely-cut feathery foliage, and has slender flower spikes from 2 to 3 feet high, thickly set with flowers that open in succession. In I. elegans the flowers are scarlet and thickly spotted, and in I. superba they are much the same, while in the rosea variety they are a deep pink. The seeds should be sown in spring in pots in the open border in ordinary soil. During the first year the plants make growth, and early the following summer they flower. If planted out to stand the winter, it is advisable to give a little protection. Other kinds mentioned in catalogues belong to Gilia, of which I pomopsis is really a synonym. On light soils early autumn-sowing should be tried. These plants are very seldom well grown.
