Primula vulgaris Belarina Snow- English Primrose

The 'Belarina Snow' double primrose is undoubtedly the whitest of the 'Belarina', as its name suggests. Its fully double flowers are barely tinged with cream when they open, and they hide a small yellow spot in their throat. They bloom in generous clusters on a lush and compact foliage that often persists in winter. These lovely double Belarina primroses, which are very perennial, excel in pots, containers, borders, and flower beds. Offering a multitude of colours and a burst of optimism at the end of winter, they even grow in shade and have a long flowering period. 

Primula vulgaris (acaulis) Belarina Snow is a herbaceous perennial plant in the primrose family, derived from the common primrose that is commonly found in our meadows and woodlands. It belongs to a series of recent selections that stand out for their double corollas, vibrant colours, and extended flowering duration. These floriferous and hardy plants form in a few months lovely clumps of dense foliage, 15 to 20 cm (6 to 8in) tall and 20 to 30 cm (8 to 12in) wide. They develop rosettes of wavy and veined leaves, which remain evergreen in winter. 'Belarina Snow' produces 3 to 4 cm (1 to 2in) diameter flowers that appear for 4 to 5 weeks. They are highly double, resembling small roses, gathered in perfect clusters. They are beautiful, but also slightly fragrant and borne on short villous peduncles surrounded by luxuriant foliage.

Garden primroses are cultivated as biennials. Perfect for pots, containers, flower beds, and even shade in fertile and moist soil, they deserve a place in every garden and on every balcony. They herald the return of spring alongside botanical tulips, pansies, horned violets, and forget-me-nots. They are ideal under deciduous trees, in rockeries, and in short grass meadows, where they mingle with snowdrops and violets. The leaves and flowers are edible and can be consumed raw or cooked.
