Tecophylaea

Tecophylaea - T. cyanocrocus is a beautiful spring-flowering bulbous plant from Chili, of dwarf growth, and bearing large open deep blue flowers. The variety Leichtlini has a white centre and a sweet perfume. This variety is not thoroughly hardy, except in very mild localities, but it succeeds well under frame-culture. About August bulbs of flowering size should be planted 3 inches deep, in rich soil in a frame. If potted, a depth of 2 inches is sufficient, and plunge the pots. They should be kept cool, and have as much air as possible. The lights must be taken off in February and March, when the weather becomes warm, and the pots should remain exposed until the flowers begin to expand, when they may be transferred to the greenhouse.
