An update on Primula bella (apologies to Yann and Tristan – I had not seen your replies, thanks for them). Most of the plants survived their first winter (20/21) outside but protected against rain. They formed new rosettes in the spring but these did not flower in 2021. When they went dormant in the autumn of 2021 they did not seem to have formed proper resting buds and none of them reappeared in 2022. Perhaps this species is naturally short lived, or perhaps they were kept too damp in the autumn. It is often hard to tell why a plant fails. Unfortunately, it will be difficult now to get seeds of this Primula again.
