Had an icy and snowy trip to the midlands yesterday (Tuesday) to view one of the two nurseries with our Primulas growing.The plants are looking really good and on line for a January start to retailers.
Some of the earliest available varieties will be the new Double Cream and Fruits of the Forest designer mixtures.
Then closely followed by Frilly and Frilly Oranges & Lemons and the brilliant Woodland Walk.
Our collectors variety (only available in very limited numbers) Greensleeves should be in centres early/mid January.
From late January the dark leafed varieties like Fairy Glen and the new Rose Passion should be out there!
Following up probably from around mid - February will be the later flowering varieties such as Forsythia Yellow, the gorgeous Glorious Laced Gold and Silver and the brand new Cheshire Life.Stonewash is another variety which is later to flower coming through from the middle of February - keep an eye out for those fantastic denim blue stripy flowers.
The traditional Cowslip and Wild Primrose will the follow.
We will try and keep you up to date with what varieties are in centres at anyone time, you can always ask here!
