Primula auricula 'Crynoline' - Rare Collector's Primrose

Description: Primula 'Crynoline' A wonderful lavender and green striped Auricula with silver edges. Known as "Auriculas", these Primroses are quite different from other types of Primroses, and tend to be smaller and evergreen, with small clusters of flowers in a wide and unique range of colors. The leaves are thick and waxy, and grow in low rosettes that can quickly multiply into attractive clumps about 8-10" tall (when in bloom) and 12" wide. Many of the Auriculas have a white powder covering the foliage, buds and even the flowers. Though they may be grown in the ground, most Auriculas are grown in pots, as they require perfect drainage. Most are quite easy to grow, but some may be challenging to grow - especially among the green-flowered hybrids.In my conditions, the plants bloom spring and fall, with the best display in spring. Generally, they are considered spring bloomers.Primula auricula hybrids require loamy, well-drained soil - allow them to dry slightly between waterings - moist - not wet or soggy. Best when repotted every year (or two). They may be grown in pots, in the garden, and are suitable for rock gardens and alpine gardens. Hardy to USDA Zone 5a (-20 degrees).PLEASE NOTE: The plants I am shipping are vigorous and established, blooming-size divisions bareroot, with roots trimmed and wrapped in New Zealand Sphagnum moss and paper - similar to what may be seen in the photos. The size of the rosette shipped will be determined by variety - all are blooming size. Plants shipped will not be in bloom. From fall to early spring, the foliage may be in varying degrees of dormancy.There is much information about this wonderful garden plant on the internet, and I encourage you to research their cultivation in your conditions.I have been growing rare and exotic plants for over 45 years, and have been enjoying Primula auricula hybrids for most of that time!
