Primula alpicola (Moonlight Primrose) | |
| Candelabra-type Primrose from the sikkimensis section. The books say up to 2 feet tall but my experience has never been more than 18 inches max. We try to keep the colors separate but those dang bees don't always cooperate. We usually have a light pink and a good white. Did I mention the fragrance? Terrific! Candelabra-type. Flowers bloom pink and purple. Zone: 3 |

Primula auricula alpine mixed (Auricula Primrose) | |
| As seen in an article about Fritz Creek Gardens in Horticulture magazine in February 2008, these are the absolute best Primula in my opinion. They spread nicely, have evergreen foliage that is a pure delight peeking out of the snow. I divide my alpines about every 4 or 5 years. They have a tendency to heave out of the ground. I divide and replant the mother plant deeper. Combine with other Primula auriculas for a can't be beat rock garden or border. Zone: 3 |

Primula auricula Garden Variety (Auricula Primrose) | |
| Garden variety auriculas are plants that have been naturalized or left for nature to pollinate. While you can speculate what color and form they will be, often you get wonderful surprises. We try to be as accurate as we can in representing the colors, but no guarantees until they bloom for the first time. Very fragrant. Very easy to grow. Divide about every 4 or 5 years and replant the mother as auricula have a tendency to heave in our winters. Excellent drainage please. Zone: 3 |

Primula auricula Soft Yellow Double (Auricula Primrose) | |
No Photo Available | A chance cross from Cheri Fluck in 2001 started the propagation procedure. Knowing the history and how long it has taken to get this one on the market makes this delicate soft yellow primrose even more special. Limited quantities. Sharp drainage required in Alaska. Moist Ok if it drains out for the winter. Zone: 3 |

Primula auricula 'Brownie' (Auricula Primrose) | |
| Years ago Rosetta Jones gave me her new 'Brownie.' I didn't appreciate the specialness at the time, as I certainly do now. The only condition she gave to me was to share my Primula with other gardeners. We've propagated ours as we could from division and shared it, but now I've found a commercial breeder so I can offer this totally different double auricula to more folk. I've seen it described as Girl Scout cookie brown or chewy fudge. I think it's lovely combined with a nice yellow auricula in rock gardens or hyper tufa containers. The evergreen foliage is another bonus. Combine with other Primula auricula, Lysimachia, Myosotis (forget-me-not). Zone: 3 |

Primula cortusoides (Primrose) | |
| From our own seed, we love these spring bloomers. They form a border along our driveway, mixed with Dodecatheon (another member of the Primulaceae family), spring bulbs, Saponaria ocymoides and the tiny 6-inch-tall blue native iris. Section cortusoides Miscellaneous Name: Primula Saxatilis Zone: 3 |
| |
Primula denticulata (Drumstick Primrose) | |
| Reds, purple, whites and in-between are your color choices on this great primrose although we can't guarantee the color until it blooms. Those pesky bees. Easy to grow and spreads politely by root and seed. At 1,000 feet elevation, I've seen this one get 15 inches tall easily and 15 inches in radius. The drumstick blooms are phenomenal. Planted in mass, it takes your breath away in early spring or combine with other Primula, spring bulbs or ferns. Zone: 3 |
| |
Primula japonica 'Miller's Crimson' (Japanese Primrose) | |
| Candelabra-type primula with outstanding crimson red flowers loves to be by waterways but not dormant water. They are easily propagated and should be planted in masses for the whole world to see their magnificence. Section Proliferae, candelabra type. Flowers bloom from bottom to top for long bloom period. Zone: 3 |
| |
Primula juliae 'Wanda' (Primrose) | |
| We carry several varieties of this versatile hybrid, including 'Wanda.' 'Wanda' is very easy to grow and has very nice maroon-highlighted leaves. Breeders use this one a lot for crossing, as it has some superb qualities and is easily crossed. Mounding; red flowers with yellow centers and has it's own section Julia. Miscellaneous Name: Primula Juliae Hybrids Zone: 3 |
| |
Primula marginata (Primrose) | |
| From our own propagation fields, we can offer a few at a very reasonable price for those just getting started in the Primula collection process and aren't too concerned about exact cultivars. I got my start from Marie Skonberg, our Alaska Primula guru many years ago when visiting her at Ouzinki. It spreads very nicely and the pink early flowers are a real sweet treat. The second bloom time in the fall is almost always reliable and surely a real bonus. From the auricula section. Limited quantities. Zone: 3 |
| |
Primula vialii (Vial's Primrose) | |
| Spiky flowers often referred to as the 'poker Primula.' Lavender with red hints. Very unusual. Zone: 4 |
| |
Primula waltonii (Primrose) | |
| Sally Arant describes the fragrance as that of fruit drops. Hmmm. They definitely are fragrant and I think of them as middle range. Not as tall as the florindae or pulveruenta but taller than all the Juliae or most other ground covers. Ranging in colors from soft violet pink to dark violet or deep wine, the swirl of bell-like flowers fall in the sikkimensis section and hail from Tibet. Somewhat farinose. Zone: 3 |
