This species has been grown for over 150 years since it was introduced in 1862. It is of creeping deciduous habit which ensures it develops into large clumps. These large clumps produce huge numbers of flowering stems which rise to 30cm (1 foot) above the foliage. There are many different varieties with flower colour ranging from purple, magenta, red and pink through to white. We offer 5 or 6 named varieties here. In its native habitat Primula sieboldii grows in a wide range of conditions but always in damp or wet places. It grows in light wooded areas so we should not grow it in too dense woodland. In the authors experience good light levels are best so the fringe of woodland sites is best. Primula sieboldii is hardy, easy and develops well in the correct growing conditions. All the varieties on offer here are wonderful container grown plants. For example a half barrel full of P sieboldii is magnificent. Plants supplied are mature flowering size and bare-root.

This Japanese species is a very dependable woodland plant; often tolerating less than damp conditions during the summer months. However, it should be planted in a situation which is generally supplied with moisture but it does not need a saturated soil. It will grow well in damp shaded sites. The white flowers are carried on stems up to 22 cm (9 inches) tall above hairy (underside) kidney shaped foliage. Flowering time is late April into May. It more or less forms a clump but the short creeping rhizome habit ensures limited spread. Plants supplied bare-root and are of flowering size.

Primula matthioli produces its dainty white flowers on stems which rise 30cm (1 foot) above very attractive mid green foliage. It is a hardy woodland plant that enjoys dappled conditions but where the soil remains moist at all times. It is also an ideal subject for a pot or container which should be positioned in a cool position; east facing is ideal. Flowering time is May.

Plants supplied ex pots rootballed. Mature flowering sized ready to plant or pot.
