Title: Primula elatior subsp. pseudoelatior
Post by: mark smyth on March 02, 2013, 02:52:54 PM

I have a plant of Primula elatior subsp. pseudoelatior growing in the tiny pot I bought it in last year. Is it naturally tiny or is due to being kept in the pot? Is it suitable for  trough? Does it have any special requirements

Well, I'd describe it as a fairly "neat" plant - fairly small in stature.

See the photo by George Young of a really super  potfull from John Richards in this issue of IRG :

Thanks for the link. Too small for a trough so its going in the ground.
