Meadow Beauty (Rhexia) - R. virginica is a beautiful dwarf bog plant with vivid, deep rosy flowers 6 or 8 inches high, in sandy swamps in New England and the Eastern States, and is found as far west as Illinois and Wisconsin.
Mariana is even scarcer in this country than R. virginica, and less important, growing in drier places.
The Rhexias must not be divided much, and healthy tufts should be obtained from their native localities and planted in a sandy peat bed.
