Tony are they collected from your trips? If so it must be nice to have these in the garden to bring back fond memories.

Terry I usually try and collect seeds but if I am too early I take small irishmans cuttings which are really easy with primula vulgaris which usually make large clumps with masses of ofsets.I have a couple of dozen different specimens from my trips

Ok, this is a new one for me. Can you explain?

However you do it, I still think it is nice to have these in your garden to bring back fond memories.

These are small cuttings that are already producing tiny roots around the base of the stem and so are really small plants.

I find that most primulas have annual roots with the old stem dying back in the summer and either a new one with roots develops on top or side shoots are produced. it is essential to lift and divied and replant every couple of years to avoid losing them
