Primula ‘Marie Crousse’
Double English Primrose |
USDA Zone: 4-9 |
Plant number: 1.445.830
Double Primroses have been cherished in English cottage gardens for centuries, although this variety is actually an old French variety. These nearly became extinct but are now available again, thanks to the miracles of modern laboratory cloning. They are easy to grow, and put on a tremendous show in the spring garden, their double rose-like flowers attracting comments from all who see them. Choose a moist, shady spot free from vigorous tree roots. ‘Marie Crousse’ has deep lilac-purple flowers, each petal edged in silver. Divide every two or three years, in early fall.
