Another of our exclusive auriculas – & this one's a super catch! Plants sport tricolored blooms have an extremely mealy center, a white mealy outer edge, & leaves that are dusted in that powdered-sugar-like farina that make Primula fanatics swoon! Honey-scented flowers are yellow, green & pink all at once. Easy to grow - happy in pots & here in the Bay Area it blooms on & off all year, though it’s showiest season is Spring. Rich soil is best – keep out of hot, direct sun! Named for the ice cream, of course! Plants are limited in quantity, & may be available only to our mail order customers.
