Whidbey Island, WA (Zone 8b) | August 2013 | positive
I got this in May at the Master Gardener sale. It was in full bloom and just lovely, looking like tiny rosa rugosa.
It only took ...Read Morethem 2 nights to climb the stairs to get the blossoms on it. Definitely a window box plant for next year. Beautiful foliage, that the slugs/snails don't crave as much as the blossoms. (White is their favorite color. Ask me how I know.)
A hybrid cultivar with a similar growing habit to one of it's ancestors, Primula vulgaris-Primrose.
Has rosettes of dark g...Read Morereen, wrinkled and veined leaves. Bears small, double, white, gives the appearance of tiny rosebuds. Has a very faint scent. This cultivar also has a tendancy for a collar of enlarged leafy bracts sometimes known as 'Jack-in-the-green' in Primulas.
Flowers repeatedly but mainly February to April
Loves a moist but well-drained, leafy, neutral to acid soil in sun to light shade.
The plant is very hardy but the blooms spoil in wet weather.
