Primula vulgaris Belarina Baltic Blue- English Primrose

The 'Belarina Baltic Blue' double primrose charms with its two-tone blue flowers, strongly veined with dark blue on a sky blue background. They are very double, discreetly adorned with small golden spots at the throat. They rest in generous clusters on another bouquet composed of wide, wavy green leaves. The pretty double primroses had almost disappeared from catalogs. Thanks to new selections that are more perennial and more floriferous, they are finding their way back into our gardens, window boxes, flower beds, and borders. Offering a multitude of colors and a breath of optimism at the end of winter, they even grow in shade and flower for a long time.

The Primula vulgaris (acaulis) Belarina Baltic Blue is a herbaceous perennial plant of the primrose family, derived from the common primrose commonly found in our meadows and woodlands. It is part of a series of recent developments that are distinguished by the doubling of their corollas, their very vibrant colours, and their extended flowering period. These are floriferous and hardy plants that form lovely clumps of foliage in just a few months, reaching heights of 15 to 20 cm (6 to 8in) and widths of 20 to 30 cm (8 to 12in). They develop rosettes of wavy and veined leaves, which remain evergreen in winter. 'Belarina Baltic Blue' produces 3 to 4 cm (1 to 2in) diameter flowers, which appear for 4 to 5 weeks. They are very double, resembling small roses of an indescribable blue, gathered in perfect clusters. They are beautiful, but also slightly fragrant and carried by short villous peduncles surrounded by luxuriant foliage.

Garden primroses are perennial plants grown as biennials. Perfect in pots, window boxes, flower beds, and borders, and even growing in shade in fertile and moist soil, they deserve a place in every garden and on every balcony. They announce and precede the return of spring along with botanical tulips, pansies and violas, and forget-me-nots. Ideal under the cover of deciduous trees, in rockeries, and short grass meadows, they slip among snowdrops and violets. The leaves and flowers are edible and can be consumed raw or cooked.
