Primula allionii 'Cissie'
Maggi Young:
Does anyone know anyone who might be selling the plant Primula allionii 'Cissie' ? And would it be considered a suitable plant for a general garden - or only an alpine house?
Someone is looking for it to honout their late Mother.

Peterk:
Hi Maggi, it is suitable only for an alpine house or cold frame. I might have a well rooted cutting in the spring that I can spare or swap.

Very kind of you Peter, but I think the person seeking the plant wouldn't have the set-up to cope with the plant in that case.
partisangardener:
Alpine Garden here in Germany sells Primula allionii in several varieties (but not Cissy)
He says it is cold hardy, but does not take wet in winter readily and does not like direct sun.
So he says you could plant it outside under some overhanging stone or in crevices or in calcereous tuff .Or of course preferable in a alpine house

Maybe worth a try.
I might try some forms next year on a floating island on a piece of tuff. They are quite pretty and tiny enough for me.

Peter, I see this is your first post. Welcome! And to take that step, an offer do a good deed! The world would be a lot better with more people like you. Thank you!
