shades of pink, red and also white. 
Freely on long stems throughout May

cutting; flowers often lasting two 
weeks in water. They grow in neat 
compact tufts of finely cut foliage 
which makes it an attractive plant 
for the border, even when not in 
bloom. ie to 24 inches high. 
Culture: They grow nicely in sun 
and even partial shade. The soil 
should be thoroughly rich; not too 
light or too heavy. Plenty of 
well-rotted manure should be mixed 
freely with the soil at planting 
time. During dry weather the 
plant should be well watered; then 
the plants will make healthy 
growth and flower more freely. As 
soon as the first flowers have 
faded, cut off the old flowering 
stems; if this is strictly adhered 
to, the plant will often continue 
to bloom for a longer period than Primula Bulleyana.
