Nursery contributed plant descriptions

An exceptionally strong-growing & all-yellow auricula primrose. Most plants in this strain have a mealy coating on the leaves that gives the plant a striking snowy look, & please note that you should definitely consider this a feature & not a sign of illness! The eye of each flower is a clear white, & the fragrance is honey-like & delectable. Yum! Auriculas prefer being planted in pots (at least 2g size) with an annual top-dressing of compost. Each grows to 10” tall, & is in general larger than other Auriculas in every aspect.
