Primrose vulgaris Perle dAlsace Mix

The 'Perle d'Alsace' primroses are one of the most popular varieties of biennials thanks to their giant and colourful flowers. An explosive mix of colours in flower beds and planters arrives with the return of good weather!

The 'Perle d'Alsace' garden primrose is a variety that comes from the wild primrose, but with flowers three times larger and in a wide range of 19 vibrant colors. A biennial plant species, it is planted in autumn to be able to flower after undergoing a period of cold (which botanists call "vernalization"). After planting in pots and planters or directly in the garden, it will develop a bright green frilly rosette of evergreen foliage. In early spring, from February-March, its stemless flowers measuring 5 to 6 cm (2 - 2.4 in) in diameter appear in a cluster in the centre of the clump and grow in succession for about 3 months. It is a good idea to remove its faded flowers regularly to make room for new ones.

The stemless primroses or Primula acaulis like 'Perle d'Alsace' reach approximately 15 cm (5.9 in) in height and width. They can be used in pots (containers, planters...) on terraces and balconies as well as in flower beds where they can return every year. They go well with other biennials, perennials, and spring-flowering bulbs.
