Sunnyday2day - Michigan, Zone "5"   Starzgarden  Posted on Wednesday, April 19, 2006 - 08:31 am EST :    I love the delicate beauty of these flowers! Starzgarden - Michigan, Zone "five"   Galanthophile  My Favorite Photo My Garden Posted on Wednesday, April 19, 2006 - 11:19 am EST :    Johanna is as hardy as they come - we've had several spells of frost and these primulas have all taken it in their stride. If you are looking for Johanna my book says it's a hybrid known as P clarkei (P x Johanna)and it was a result of hand pollination onto primula warshenewskiana. It resembles primula rosea which might be easier to obtain. Galanthophile - Ann (Northern England), Zone "8"   Shirley1md  Posted on Friday, April 28, 2006 - 08:33 pm EST :    They are ALL charming! I really like Primula bileckii with the magenta colored flower. The tight rosette type foliage almost reminds me of succulents. I actually grew from seed this year Primrose acaulis, "Danova Pink". It germinated via the Wintersowing method. It hasn't bloomed yet, but here is what the foliage looks like.

SusanQ - Zone 4b-5b Wisconsin   Gardenfiend  My Weather Posted on Saturday, April 29, 2006 - 02:57 am EST :    You've got me almost hooked on the marginatas. Just have to figure out a place to grow them, then the order goes out... By the way, Primula rosea is a bog plant, mine grows along the edge of the pond. Looks like this Gardenfiend - Germany, Zone "7a"   Galanthophile  My Favorite Photo My Garden Posted on Saturday, April 29, 2006 - 03:33 am EST :    I used to have rosea but had it in a raised bed and lost it - obviously too dry a spot. Thanks Mara! Galanthophile - Ann (Northern England), Zone "8"   Galanthophile  My Favorite Photo My Garden Posted on Saturday, April 29, 2006 - 03:41 am EST :    Shirley - you've done really well with those seedlings! Galanthophile - Ann (Northern England), Zone "8"   Sunnyday2day  My Favorite Photo My Weather Posted on Saturday, April 29, 2006 - 07:44 am EST :    Mara, you DO have some of the most interesting plants! Is that PR considered hardy? In a week or so I'm going to an large Alpine nursery (can hardly wait!) so I must get all these names written down. Sunnyday2day - Michigan, Zone "5"   Gardenfiend  My Weather Posted on Saturday, April 29, 2006 - 08:22 am EST :    Tanya, P. rosea is not at all an unusual plant. Here it is sold in garden centres. It is hardy here. Gardenfiend - Germany, Zone "7a"   Galanthophile  My Favorite Photo My Garden Posted on Saturday, April 29, 2006 - 10:57 am EST :    Have a great time at the alpine nursery Tanya - and do let us know what you come back with!

I try and resist these - they could become oh so addictive!
