Rating for this plant:
This Primula is a joy in the garden. It's got great scent, loves humid conditions and semi-shade, and blooms for a very long time. Here it can bloom for nearly two months. It can also grow in normal garden soil as long as it's kept well watered. On hot days the leaves flatten out, but will recover come evening, or with a good watering.
