A fully revised fourth edition of this popular handbook. See just how easy primroses can be to cultivate. From the original pale yellow flower has come a variety of modern hybrids in a range of colors. Grow them all, with help from these notes on soil, composts, raising the plants from seed and in pots, and keeping the flowers healthy and flourishing. Follow the detailed primrose grower’s calendar, and select from some favorite specimens—including polyanthus and auriculas.
Peter Ward was formerly head of the Southern Auricular Society. He is now retired but for many years ran a primula and auricular nursery.
