Description

The Primula candelabra Hybrids, also known as mixed candelabra primroses, bring together fascinating hybrids. They are adorned from late spring to early summer with erect flowering stems with various colourful flowers arranged in whorls. These hardy perennial plants thrive in sun or even shade in cool to moist soil. They are perfect for bordering water features or in damp woodland areas.

The candelabra primrose, also known as Primula section Candelabra, is a relatively unknown plant in the primrose family and is rarely used in gardens. These herbaceous perennial plants originate from wet and wooded areas in China, Burma, and even Bhutan, depending on the species, which are numerous in this section (including P. beesiana, P. bulleyana, P. burmanica, or P. chungensis). Our selection brings together various horticultural or spontaneous hybrids from these plants. They form rosettes from which flowering stems emerge in spring, reaching heights of 30 to 60 cm (12 to 24in), with a spread of 30 cm (12in). The foliage, lanceolate and evergreen to semi-evergreen, is a vibrant green, with leaves measuring 10 to 30 cm (4 to 12in) in length and having a wavy texture. The flowering takes place from May to June in the form of tall vertical stems producing several tiers of flowers. Depending on the hybrids, the flowers are rounded or flattened, measuring 1 to 2 cm (0 to 1in) in diameter, and come in warm colours such as pink, brick red, yellow, orange, or even carmine.

The candelabra primrose helps flower in shaded and moist gardens and thrives at the edge of watercourses in fertile soil that is consistently moist. It can be paired with astilbes, hostas, persicarias, and rodgersias. Plant them in vigorous groups for greater impact. They are very robust and have a good lifespan if they never lack water. This selection also allows for beautiful borders, filling in shaded rockeries, and performs well in pots and planters.

Primula: planting, cultivation, maintenance and companion planting

Read article

Primrose is a perennial plant that you have likely encountered in the wild, at the edge of a forest or in meadows: it is the "Cowslip" or Primula officinalis with delicate yellow flowers atop upright stems. However, it is also common in gardens in its cultivated form, Primula acaulis, where it takes on much brighter colours: often red, pink, yellow, white, or blue. It signals to us the arrival of spring with an explosion of colours! With it comes the end of the bad season and the renewal of the garden. Its vibrant flowers bring vitality and dynamism to the flowerbeds. [caption id="attachment_9562" align="aligncenter" width="1172"]<a href="https://en.promessedefleurs.eu/perennials/perennials-by-variety/primula-primroses/primula-veris-cowslip.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img class="size-full wp-image-9562" src="https://www.promessedefleurs.com/blogwp/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Primula_veris_LD_Stephan_Lefnaer.jpg" alt="Primrose - Primula veris" width="1172" height="781" /></a> Primula veris - Photo: Stephan Lefnaer[/caption] It often flowers very early in spring, sometimes in late winter (as early as February for Primula acaulis). The Asian primroses are later and bloom in summer. When conditions are right, it can also provide a second flowering in autumn. Most species are hardy and require little maintenance. If for you the Primrose is a common, classic plant, let yourself be surprised by the diversity of its forms and colours! If you think they are small plants, not exceeding 30 cm in height, discover the candelabra primroses with sumptuous flower spikes reaching sometimes 1.20 m! There are hundreds of species with distinct colours and forms, some with original flowerings, sometimes bicoloured, or even tricoloured. Each has its own style: they can be delicate and discreet, appearing very natural... and sometimes it’s the exact opposite: they take on particularly bright colours, with almost unreal contrasts, even surprising. These colour combinations, sometimes so strange that one would not have dared to associate them, often turn out to be beautiful successes!

Planting and care

Sowing:

The seeds of candelabra primroses germinate at 15-20 ° C; higher temperatures can hinder germination. Sow on the surface of a moist, well-drained special sowing compost. Cover with a pinch of vermiculite without completely covering the seeds. Place the whole in a mini-greenhouse or a transparent plastic bag in a shaded area. Keep the compost moist but not waterlogged. Germination usually takes 10 to 30 days. Once some seeds have emerged, sprinkle the compost with a thin layer of sieved compost to facilitate the rooting of the seedlings.

Transplant the young plants into 8 cm (3in) pots when they are large enough to handle. Grow them in a cooler environment, giving them plenty of water—plant outside, with a spacing of 23cm (9in).

Cultivation:

Candelabra primroses appreciate relatively moist to marshy soils; a location near water suits them perfectly. Ideally, plant them in the shade, in a cool understory. Ideally, the soil will be deep, humus-rich, relatively neutral and slightly acidic, even peaty. You can plant them in cooler regions in full sun, but the soil must be kept moist throughout the year. Growing these species in pots and containers, in a mixture of compost and peat, kept wet throughout the year is also possible. Place the pot in the shade, exposed to the East or North.

Remove the foliage and faded flower stalks once a year, and divide clumps that have become too large. It is recommended to repot potted plants every two years to renew the substrate.
