Description
The Primula candelabra Hybrids, also known as mixed candelabra primroses, bring together fascinating hybrids. They are adorned from late spring to early summer with erect flowering stems with various colourful flowers arranged in whorls. These hardy perennial plants thrive in sun or even shade in cool to moist soil. They are perfect for bordering water features or in damp woodland areas.
The candelabra primrose, also known as Primula section Candelabra, is a relatively unknown plant in the primrose family and is rarely used in gardens. These herbaceous perennial plants originate from wet and wooded areas in China, Burma, and even Bhutan, depending on the species, which are numerous in this section (including P. beesiana, P. bulleyana, P. burmanica, or P. chungensis). Our selection brings together various horticultural or spontaneous hybrids from these plants. They form rosettes from which flowering stems emerge in spring, reaching heights of 30 to 60 cm (12 to 24in), with a spread of 30 cm (12in). The foliage, lanceolate and evergreen to semi-evergreen, is a vibrant green, with leaves measuring 10 to 30 cm (4 to 12in) in length and having a wavy texture. The flowering takes place from May to June in the form of tall vertical stems producing several tiers of flowers. Depending on the hybrids, the flowers are rounded or flattened, measuring 1 to 2 cm (0 to 1in) in diameter, and come in warm colours such as pink, brick red, yellow, orange, or even carmine.

Planting and care
Sowing:
The seeds of candelabra primroses germinate at 15-20 ° C; higher temperatures can hinder germination. Sow on the surface of a moist, well-drained special sowing compost. Cover with a pinch of vermiculite without completely covering the seeds. Place the whole in a mini-greenhouse or a transparent plastic bag in a shaded area. Keep the compost moist but not waterlogged. Germination usually takes 10 to 30 days. Once some seeds have emerged, sprinkle the compost with a thin layer of sieved compost to facilitate the rooting of the seedlings.
Transplant the young plants into 8 cm (3in) pots when they are large enough to handle. Grow them in a cooler environment, giving them plenty of water—plant outside, with a spacing of 23cm (9in).
Cultivation:
Candelabra primroses appreciate relatively moist to marshy soils; a location near water suits them perfectly. Ideally, plant them in the shade, in a cool understory. Ideally, the soil will be deep, humus-rich, relatively neutral and slightly acidic, even peaty. You can plant them in cooler regions in full sun, but the soil must be kept moist throughout the year. Growing these species in pots and containers, in a mixture of compost and peat, kept wet throughout the year is also possible. Place the pot in the shade, exposed to the East or North.
Remove the foliage and faded flower stalks once a year, and divide clumps that have become too large. It is recommended to repot potted plants every two years to renew the substrate.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
