The evergreen Primula is a very hardy and reliable plant and one of the most adaptable and useful primula's there is, from amongst the evergreen rosettes of pale green or grey-green leaves, upright stems emerge in spring topped by interesting looking flowers in a mixture of red, gold and blue shades. These hardy garden auriculas are perfect for the front of a mixed, herbaceous or cottage-garden border where they are happiest in reliably moist, humus-rich, soil. They also make excellent additions to a potted display, especially when underplanted with spring flowering bulbs.
