PRIMULA AURICULA
The wonderful jewel like Auricula.
We arrange an Auricula Theatre on the nursery each April.
Auricula are exquisite and endlessly fascinating.
They are easy to grow. Don’t starve them, put plenty grit in their compost; don’t keep them too hot or too wet. I grow most of them in pots as they are easier to display and admire that way. I keep them dry in winter and not too hot in summer. But, they are all hardy and some have done well in the open ground for many years.
To get you going: 2 STARTER COLLECTIONS
10 Auricula (our choice) £25 (plus carriage)
5 Auricula (our choice) £15 (plus carriage)
