Description
There are few plants that friend John Massey of the U.K. has not caressed with his talented breeder's hand and not made truly irresistible, and his lines of Primula auricula are no exception; this strain with powdered burgundy petals intricately centered with yellow or gold. Though these are seedlings and variation will exist, there is nothing here that will disappoint. As these are ""show"" auriculas, they are best cultivated in pots and kept in cool, bright windows or coldframes rather than planted in the garden.
