June, early July. S. Siberia and N. China. —A handsome, graceful species and the brightest in color of all. Although easily grown it is not very long-lived, as a rule, and must be frequently renewed. Good for rock-gardens and pots. The var. Golden Gleam, Hort.. is a taller grower, often 3 ft. high and the flowers are bright, pure golden yellow; it is said to be a hybrid between L. Martagon var. album and L. tenuifolium, but resembles the latter in growth, and the two form a splendid contrast when planted together. CH
