Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Another lovely double auricula primrose of our own selection! Violet purple double flowers with a lavender edge are very sweetly scented, & bloom in spring & beyond here by the foggy bay. Auriculas have been grown for hundreds of years, & are some of our favorite plants here at Annie’s! We consider them to be more like pets than plants. With rich soil, a decent sized pot, good drainage, & a cool shady spot, they will give you years & years of enjoyment. Deadhead & feed regularly for best performance. Grows to 8” high when blooming, & about as wide. Flowers on this variety are about an inch & a half across, often with many to a stem.
