Primula from Pickering?
Comments (6)Hmmm, I have a clone which does not have much of a fragrance at all - certainly not as carrying as my briar roses....and it can be a teeny bit unhappy in East Anglias blasting North-easterlies so, in a comparison between the asian yellows, primula does not beat any of the hugonis clones (Headleyensis), nor hybrid pteracanthas such as Earldomensis. Top marks for Cantabridgiensis (pteragonis hybrid) although ecae has been as temperamental as primula and, although it is ubiquitous, xanthina var spontanea (aka Canary Bird) is still one of the most reliable early yellows. Honestly, bman, you can hardly go wrong with any of them.....and while you are about it, for the daintiest and prettiest pale yellow, take a look at the little spinossisima, Dunwich rose - a diminutive sweetie with massive charm. These roses are utterly beautiful and perfect harbingers of spring (primula is the first rose to flower in England) - there is nothing so lovely as seeing those pale yellow blossoms and bright green leaves reiterated with an underplanting of the common primrose, primula vulgaris (my little joke, Primula and primula).....and for fragrance, the fresh scent of primrose is subtle, nuanced and redolent of the all that is new, sparkling and hopeful about the casting off of winter gloom....See MoreMediterranean garden ideas
Comments (36)I just happened upon this posting, and feel compelled to add a bit of info regarding fertilizing new plantings. The current "rule" regarding California native plantings is NOT to fertilize or amend soil at planting. This is especially true if the plants are native to your local area. In theory, if it's a native, the soil should contain everything your plant needs. That said, by virtue of normal landscaping practices, we have mucked things up for our plants. Still, with natives, it's best to start without fertilizer. If your plants are from other Mediterranean climate areas of the world, then a little starter fertilizer may be helpful. It may also be necessary to amend the soil to improve drainage. They key is to match the plant's natural habitat and needs as closely as possible. Note: if you have clay soil, but your plant is native to an area with different characteristics (rocky, sandy, low phosphorus, etc.), you need to be mindful of this. Clay is wonderfully fertile, but tough on plants that prefer better drainage. If you do choose to fertilize, organic fertilizers are better for the plants, soil, and the environment....See Morefloral_uk z.8/9 SW UK
