Calthas flourish best in wet places near running water. Though naturally bog-plants, they succeed admirably well in an ordinary border in rather rich soil. They should be introduced more liberally into the flower-garden, where they bloom very freely year after year, and usually mature a second quite abundant crop of bloom in the fall. The flowers last a long time in water, and sell readily in the cut-flower market.

The propagation is naturally accomplished by roots and by seed. The roots divide easily and several of the species send out rootstalks. The divisions may be made best in late fall or mild winter weather. If seeds are used, they must be fresh and given a moist, cool place in partial shade.
