The grey leaves with the lemon yellow of the flower head of this primula held so high are really outstanding - I imagine it likes full sun and would love to grow it here?

With me it prefers light shade and to be kept fairly cool but watered sparingly. There should be abundant seed in due course Robin so PM me with your address if you're interested.
Ashley,What did you do with your P.simensis over the Winter?I got rather fed up with mine, and left it out over the cold weather - it survived a foot of snow, and temps down to -15 C -and admittedly I was surprised it survived at all!(and it doesn't exactly look as inspiring as yours !!).
Wonderful primulas! Congratulations!Enclosed one wild parent of many beautiful garden hybrids - Primula elatior - .The picture was taken during a trip in the Eifel mountains.If you like to see more wild Primulas, Pulsatilla, Narcissus ect., please click http://www.srgc.org.uk/smf/index.php?topic=3424.0
Robin - unless you want to be locked up for cruelty to poor innocent plants, I really wouldn't recommend 'my' treatment.Having seen Ashley's fine plant, I rushed out and rescued it, repotted it, and put it in the greenhouse! (and I see my 'name' has changed again )
