Primula allionii | Also known as: Primula glutinosa | Rating: votes| Print / Pdf
A tiny, compact, evergreen flowering perennial, primula allionii is not generally chosen for its foliage. It makes a far greater impression when flowering, producing a carpet of large, saucer-shaped pink or white blossoms in winter. Commonly known as allioni’s primrose, its rosettes of small, leathery, ovate grey-green leaves pack together to form a compact mat. It thrives in well-drained alkaline soil, but is best to cultivate indoors. For best growth, pot it in loamy alpine compost and water without wetting foliage. It is happiest in conservatories and greenhouses, but outdoors, be sure to find a dry, sheltered spot. Pruning used flowerheads is advised.
