Unlike the Primula Ballerina that I have ordered several times from your site, the Rambo plants, after being repotted and then transplanted, have struggled: only 2 out of the five survived the winter and have a few leaves. A disappointing purchase despite the care taken.

Description
The Primula acaulis Rambo F1 'Appleblossom' is a new stemless and vigorous garden primrose with very large 6 cm (2in) flowers. These are of a soft pale pink colour like an apple blossom, distinctly accentuated with a green chartreuse centre surrounded by a raspberry halo whose intensity blends into the light petals, sometimes tinted with raspberry veins as well. These generous, flat and open flowers are very early: they bloom in the heart of winter, in January and February, on a cushion of dark green leaves. Plant this primrose at the edge of a flower bed or pathway, or in a balcony planter, in partial shade and in a soil that retains moisture.
The Primula acaulis, also known as Primula vulgaris, is a perennial herbaceous plant of the primrose family, a wild species found in our meadows and undergrowth. 'Appleblossom' is a recent hybrid that stands out for its vigour and large flowers. It is a floriferous plant that forms a pretty clump of luxuriant foliage in a few months, about 15 cm (6in) tall and 25 to 30 cm (10 to 12in) wide. It develops more or less evergreen rosettes of spatulate, wavy and veined leaves, ranging from medium green to dark green.
The Rambo F1 'Appleblossom' stemless primrose is tough, not intimidated by climatic vagaries, and easy to grow. Queen of winter balconies and pathway borders, it is placed to be visible from the house because it is the first to bloom, at a time when one doesn't always feel like going outside. This plant opens the way for other primroses to come, then for forget-me-nots, daffodils, Siberian squills, and crocuses. Under the cover of bushes, in partial shade, they brighten up flower beds, rockeries, and short grass meadows, among snowdrops and violets.
Benefits: They are the same as those of the common primrose and the tall primrose: the flowers are soothing and calming, and are used in expectorant preparations. The leaves fight against the formation of bruises, and the whole plant (especially the root) has analgesic, anti-spasmodic, diuretic, and expectorant properties.

Planting and care
Primroses can be planted in pots and containers or directly in the ground in finely prepared and enriched soil. Plant them as soon as possible upon receipt, in September-October or in March-April. If the intended location is not yet ready or the conditions are unfavourable for planting, you can grow them on as plug plants for 4 to 6 weeks.
In pots and containers, use a good potting soil for flowering plants (geranium-type potting soil) enriched with clay and slow-release fertiliser, light and well-draining. The top of the plug should be level with the soil. Water generously at planting and during the following weeks, as plug plants can dry out quickly. However, be careful of excess water! Make sure to use containers with drainage holes and empty the saucer 10 minutes after watering. Remember to water even during winter if it doesn't rain or if the container is placed in a sheltered location. Do not water during freezing periods.
Very floriferous and fast-growing, primroses are hungry plants. As soon as growth resumes, in late February or early March, and throughout the flowering period, apply a liquid fertiliser for flowering plants containing iron and trace elements 1 to 2 times a week in the watering can. Remove faded flowers to promote new blooms. Once the flowering is over, potted plants can be replanted in the garden in semi-shade.

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.
