Primula vulgaris ‘Double Lilac’ at Digging Dog
Primrose
Derived from the Italian primaverola, the name of this genus pays homage to the way its early blossoms welcome the spring. Many of the more than 400 species are at home in the moist climates of England, New Zealand and the Pacific Coast. The species we offer are cold hardy but can do well in warmer climates so long as they have ample soil moisture. Lovely in drifts, try planting them in a woodland garden, by a pond or streamside. Primula vulgaris ‘Double Lilac’
Steeped in charm and easily grown, this hard-to-find old-fashioned Primrose promises to please with nearly evergreen foliage and a blooming season, extending from spring to fall. A plentiful showing of rose-like buds and splendid lilac-pink double flowers adorn broad textured spring green foliage that forms a generous long-lived clump.
Bright shade, well-drained soil and
above average moisture will ensure its success.
Blooms May – September. Size: 6"–8" high x 6"–8" wide; hardy to zone 6. AVAILABLE JULY 2013 Primula vulgaris ‘Double Lilac’ (P-1489) Each $7.00
