Luc, what a nice collection!
Primula 'Wedgwood' looks great.

Nice selection Luc, the white hirsuta is very pretty.

'Wedgewood' and 'Mauve Mist' are super, if their colour here is true. 8)

All are quite gorgeous Luc.  Wondering what type of soil is under all the rock in your garden?

I will be planting out some of my 'Mauve Mist' and want to give them the best chance at survival.   ;D  I just love the fragrance!

Thanks everybody !  :D
The colours are true, Lesley, if anything, Mauve mist is just a bit darker than on the picture !

All are quite gorgeous Luc.  Wondering what type of soil is under all the rock in your garden?

I will be planting out some of my 'Mauve Mist' and want to give them the best chance at survival.   ;D  I just love the fragrance!

Except the hirsuta (in neutral to slightly acid stony soil), all are on my tufa mound so quite alkaline.  Mauve Mist is also going to be planted in there, Julie !  ;)

Primula 'Carina', a seedling of Primula x venusta was raised by a friend. The colours of the photo
are not quite true and more reddish.
Seedlings of this plant are amazingly quite uniform.
