This frosty weather is really testing our Primulas, pleased to say even those we view as been more indoor varieties are standing up well to been frozen!This week had a trip down to our grower in Essex, a chance to walk through the various varieties of Prim's and just see how they are all doing.
This grower started some deliveries into garden centres from mid - December, so if you live in the South East you may well have come across the earlier varieties such as Fruits of the Forest, Double Cream and Frilly and Frilly Oranges and Lemons, he is now moving into ChaChaCha, Firecracker, Greensleeves, Champagne, Woodland Walk and some Pastiche, looking at them the next up will be Purity Blue & Lime, Forever White and then Stonewash, Forsythia Yellow and following up will be things like Cowslip, Wild Primrose, both Gold and Silver Glorious Laced and Cheshire Life, these last few will be early/mid February.
A few pictures taken on Wednesday at the nursery just to wet your appetite!
