Its not difficult to come by Long Acre plants have it, and I see a nice variegated form I have not seen before,the postage is the killer unles you buy other plants.

Homebird, it comes to mind there is a Primrose I think from memory called 'Francesca' that is a similar slightly lighter green.

I had a look in the Westonbirt GC for some of these yesterday, they didn't have any so I came home with 2 clems, 2 mahonia and a Pyracanthus!!!!

it gets very dry in my garden in summer but not much sun

1 Mar, 2011

 

Will have to find the perfect spot then!

I have had this plant for at least 10years.It has survived being moved and is just coming into flower. Always gets comments ....haven`t seen it very often. I love it.

I might have to order it! Do you think it would mind being under a sycamore tree? I am sure I can find just the right spot for it, it's just so pretty.

lulu Probably be OK
this is another odd one, the yellow is the flower and the green is the bract ,so you have the green long after the yellow flower is faded.
i wonder if the Pic indicates the size, each flower is about the size of a ten pence piece from memory(not larger)

They look quite small!

This was for sale at Totnes Brian. I agree about Franchesca it's a lovely Primula.

3 Mar, 2011

 

I saw this plant today (lots of them!) at Harlow Carr....couldn't buy any because I'm training it home, very miffed!!
