Primula vulgaris Belarina Purple Dawn- English Primrose

The 'Belarina Purple Dawn' double Primrose has  mini-rose shaped, double, brightly coloured flowers, with purple petals speckled with white. They bloom in generous clusters on dense and compact foliage that often persists in winter. These lovely double Belarina primroses, which are very perennial, excel in pots, flower beds, and borders. Offering a multitude of colours and a burst of optimism at the end of winter, they even grow in shade and flower for a long time.

Primula vulgaris (acaulis) Belarina Purple Dawn is a herbaceous perennial plant in the primula family, derived from the common primrose commonly found in meadows and woodlands. It is part of a series of recent cultivars that stand out for their double corollas, vibrant colours, and extended flowering period. They are floriferous and hardy plants that form pretty, dense clumps of foliage, reaching heights of 15 to 20 cm (6 to 8in) and widths of 20 to 30 cm (8 to 12in). They develop rosettes of textured and veined leaves, which remain evergreen in winter. 'Belarina Purple Dawn' produces flowers measuring 3 to 4 cm (1 to 2in) in diameter, appearing for 4 to 5 weeks. They are very double, numerous, and arranged in perfect clusters. They are beautiful, but also slightly fragrant, and carried by short villous peduncles surrounded by lush foliage.

Garden primroses are perennial plants grown as biennials. Perfect for pots, flower beds, and borders, and even growing in shade in fertile and moist soil, they deserve a place in all gardens and on all balconies. They announce and precede the return of spring alongside botanical tulips, pansies, horned violets, and forget-me-nots. They are ideal under deciduous trees, in rockeries, and lawns, and they mingle with snowdrops and violets. The leaves and flowers are edible and can be consumed raw or cooked.
