EUROPEAN ALPINE PRIMULAS 
Bright-flowered, beautiful gems from the cliffs, rocky ledges and 
stony pastures of the European Alps, they were sought and gathered 
in early days by as brightly-clad peasants for the gardens of noblemen. 
Given the same drainage treatment as Auriculas in leaner soil using 
a Sslow-acting food such as raw bonemeal if fertilizer is needed, in 
almost full sun in the Pacific Northwest—somewhat less in the east— 
the usual faithful watering all Primulas need, these early blooming al- 
pine Primulas will remain content in one spot for years. Growth being 
slow, dividing is infrequent.
