@gjones do the flowers last long on yours? These seem to turn to mush within a few days

Wow, that's some superpowered primula. Mine last meagre 3 months in the spring. They stop flowering in May once the weather starts to warm up.

@gjones I googled them and they look lovely! I think they are different though so explains why they last so long 😁

@ublaszko I do keep them in shade all the time. They live in a cool damp area and seem to be thriving there 😛

I know they like to be cool in summer so they always spend the summer in shade but never thought to keep it there all year round. I have a bright yellow one.

comment
kez001uk

@ublaszko yellow is my favourite but only have one til it decides to multiply! I hope the shade thing helps with it flowering longer. Most of mine are in flower now or at least budding
