An exceedingly hardy primula, second only to the 
Polyanthus in popularity. Choose a location where the

comes from the mountain heights where rock and snow 
are its chosen habitat. 
The plonts bloom from April until June, and again in 
the fall. The thick, fleshy stems and large clusters of 
flowers spring from neat rosettes of thick gray-green
