![]() ![]() Clump-forming species can also be divided when dormant or after flowering, but most are very susceptible to cucumber-mosaic virus and are strongest when grown from seed. Striking gold centred alpine with shaded petals of deep burnt orange fading to soft peach edges. Propagation of all species by seed, stored in the fridge and sown in winter and kept outside. Primula auricula Ancient Society Description. Many of the Asiatic primulas require cool growing conditions (especially section Petiolares) and tend to be short-lived. henrici are classic subjects for the alpine house. PLANT LIST Primula auricula 'Lavender Lady' Primula auricula 'Helen Ruan' Primula auricula 'Sanctuary Wood' Primula auricula 'Edith Major'. rosea. Members of section Cortusoides are woodlanders. Some species prefer very wet sites, notably members of sections Proliferae, Sikkimensis and P. The majority of species require a well-drained but moist, humus-rich soil and protection from hot sun and dessication. Also called: bears-ear a widely cultivated alpine primrose, Primula auricula, with leaves shaped like a bears ear another word for auricle (def. veris make charming subjects for naturalisation. denticulata and many others are suitable. Several primulas are indispensable rock garden plants e.g. The seed exchanges of plant societies, especially Alpine and Rock Garden Clubs, are an excellent way of getting small. The species are classified into 36 sections:Īuricula, Cuneifolia, Parryi, SuffrutescensĪuganthus, Monocarpicae, Obconicolisteri, Malvacea, Pycnoloba, Reinii, Cortusoides, Bullatae, Dryadifolia, CarolinellaĬhartacea, Davidii, Petiolares, Crystallophlomis, Cordifoliae, Fedtschenkoana, Proliferae, Sikkimensis, Oreophlomis, Armerina, Glabra, Yunnanensis, Aleuritia, Pulchella, Minutissimae, Denticulata, Capitatae, Muscarioides, Soldanelloides Seed-set is enhanced when crosses between the two morphs ('legitimate') are made. 90% of species are sexually dimorphic, producing either pin-eyed or thrum-eyed flowers. It was named after having won the the seedling class at the show of the Ancient Society of Florists in York in 1998. A striking plant with a brown centre shading to orange and gold. pinnatifida.The petals are fused into a tube with five spreading petal lobes often shallowly to deeply notched or lobed at the tips. Primula auricula 'Ancient Society' Gold-centred alpine auricula. Though Auricula species are hardy enough to thrive in exposed locations, cultivars should be grown in sheltered locations. They are also accustomed to frequent rainfall but must have well-drained soils. The majority of species have simple leaves with or without short stalks and teeth but many have lobulate or even fully lobed leaves, e.g. As Auricula originate in Alpine and Sub-Alpine regions, cool to cold, dry climates suit them best. sieboldii, and fewer still produce above ground stems and are almost subshrubby e.g. allionii, some others have elongated rhizomes and develop into colonies e.g. Approximately 400 species of deciduous and evergreen perennials mainly from the northern hemisphere with one species in southern South America.
