  • Les bulbes doivent être plantés assez profondément [1].
  • Most members of this genus are intolerant of competition from other growing plants [203].

Propagation

  • Graine - Semez au printemps sous un chassis .
  • Prick out the seedlings into individual pots when they are large enough to handle - if you want to produce clumps more quickly then put three plants in each pot .
  • Cultivez les sous serre durant au moins leur premier hiver et plantez les à leur position définitive au printemps, une fois qu'elles poussent vigoureusement et sont suffisamment développées .
  • Division au printemps .
  • Very easy, the plants divide successfully at any time in the growing season and the divisions can be planted straight out into their permanent positions if required .

An excellent and very comprehensive guide but it only gives very short descriptions of the uses without any details of how to utilize the plants. Not for the casual reader.

Interesting reading.

Forget the sexist title, this is one of the best books on the subject. Lists a very extensive range of useful plants from around the world with very brief details of the uses. Not for the casual reader.

The most comprehensive guide to edible plants I've come across. Only the briefest entry for each species, though, and some of the entries are more than a little dubious. Not for the casual reader.
