With ample water it may be able to cope with sun, Anne - I'd say give it a go.

Hi everyone, primulas are one of my favorite plants, and I specially like Primula vulgaris, which is also a native here....unfortunately it is hard to find other species primula and hybrids in this country. Here is a photo of my primula (it was already 1 month ago).

My last one to flower, Primula x pubescens 'The General'. This is an old variety, Farrer referred to it in 1914.

A friend gave me a plant of Primula rosea 'Gigas'.  Does anyone know its origin?

It seems that while a couple of sources, both of this plant and of seed of it, claim it has  a Royal Hortcultural Society Award of Garden Merit - a search of the RHS /AGM plants comes up empty.  Odd.

 A search in the RHS/AGM list for Primula rosea shows an AGM awarded  in 1993, but  no mention there of a cultivar name.

There are these notes from old Joint Rock records:
Primula rosea      FCC 1879   Grower: Ware  AGM 1992  ( not 1993?)     
Primula rosea 'Brockhurst var'   AM 1928   Grower: Hanbury           
Primula rosea 'Micia Visser de Geer'    AM 1969     Grower: Hutchinson

Thanks, Maggi.  I thought if the information was out there you'd find it.  So we know it is a recognised cultivar name but where, when or why it was named is still a bit of a mystery ???
