A Primula plant in a 10 cm pot.
The colors are assorted and unfortunately we cannot allow selection.

General information: herbaceous perennials native to Europe, Asia, and North America, forming low cushions from which short stems bear colorful five-petaled flowers, some varieties also have double petals, in colors ranging from white to yellow, red, and blue. The leaves are oval, bright green, with very pronounced, rough veins. It blooms in early spring and the flowering continues for a long time, sometimes reblooming in late summer.
Exposure: it enjoys any type of exposure, both in sun and shade, preferring semi-shade, away from direct sunlight. It is not afraid of the cold; in fact, it is recommended to plant it in the ground in autumn for a stunning bloom at the beginning of spring. Sometimes in hot months, or during very harsh winters, the aerial part may dry out, but the plant starts to develop again in January-February, producing the first flowers towards the end of winter.

Watering: it needs to be watered regularly, especially in late spring. Generally, in winter and spring, it is satisfied with rainfall, but it is still advisable to check the soil starting from early February, avoiding excessive drying. From March to October, provide flowering plant fertilizer every 10-15 days.

Soil: it does not have particular soil requirements; a garden compost works perfectly, as long as it is fertile and well-drained.

Propagation: can occur from seed in spring, using fresh seeds, which should be sown in a mixture of sand and peat in equal parts; the seedlings are planted in autumn and will bloom the following year. If desired, in autumn, clumps can also be divided, thus producing new seedlings to be planted immediately. Primulas hybridize easily with each other, so the seeds generally do not produce specimens identical to the mother plant.

Pests and diseases: be careful of possible attacks from green and black aphids. Heavy spring rains or excessive watering can promote the onset of gray mold, which damages flowers and leaves.
