Died after a year and a half without me feeling like I mistreated it... Not very resilient, it seems...

Description
The Primula eliator 'Silver Lace Black' is a brand-new primrose with an unusual flowering, offering a stunning contrast of colours. It produces upright stems, adorned with tricoloured flowers, with almost black petals, edged in white, centred on a beautiful yellow throat. It is also a very hardy, flowering and unusual perennial or biennial plant, which can be placed near a walkway to admire the graphic design of its flowers. It will illuminate the partially shaded areas of the garden, in a humus-rich, fertile and fresh soil.
The Primula eliator, also known as the Oxlip or Woodland Primrose, is a herbaceous perennial plant that belongs to our native flora and is mostly found in the semi-shade of clear undergrowth or on the edge of forests. When it is abundant, the primrose is an indicator of old forests, little disturbed by human activity.
This plant has given rise to many short-lived perennial hybrids, mostly cultivated as biennial plants, through hybridisation with the Common Primrose (Primula vulgaris). This 'Silver Lace Black' primrose blooms from May to July, depending on the climate, for about two months. On each plant, 2 or 3 flowering stems 25 cm (10in) tall each bear bouquets consisting of 4 to 5 single, slightly fragrant flowers, of beautiful size, composed of rounded petals, of almost black brown, finely edged in white-cream, arranged in a collar around a bright yellow centre. Their highly contrasting colour is well highlighted by evergreen foliage in rosettes of large, deeply crinkled dark green leaves, which are decorative even outside of the flowering period.
The eliator primroses are less well-known than the stemless primroses, but they have their own advantages: they are taller, hardier, more perennial and their flowering is also more spectacular. They are excellent companions for shade-loving and cool semi-shade-loving perennials such as heucheras, Brunnera, Anemone nemorosa, pansies, horned violets or hostas. They can also be used to decorate the terrace, window or balcony, when planted in garden planters that brighten up the gloomy winter days. They also hold up very well in a simple bouquet, a rare gift that is always a pleasure to give or receive at this time of year.

Planting and care
The Primula eliator 'Silver Lace Black' are planted in pots and flower boxes or directly in the ground in a finely prepared and enriched soil, not too chalky. Plant them if possible upon receipt, in September-October or in March-April. If the planned location is not yet ready or if the conditions are unfavourable for planting, you can let them grow in pots for 4 to 6 weeks.
In pots and flower boxes, use a good potting soil for flowering plants (geranium-type soil) enriched with clay and slow-release fertilisers, light and well-draining. The top of the plug should be level with the soil. Water generously at planting and during the following weeks, as plug plants can quickly dry out. However, be careful with excessive watering! Make sure to use containers with drainage holes and empty the saucer 10 minutes after watering. Remember to water even during winter if it doesn't rain or if the container is placed in a sheltered spot. Do not water during freezing periods.
Very floriferous and fast-growing, primroses are hungry plants. As soon as growth resumes, at the end of February or beginning of March, and throughout the flowering period, apply a liquid fertilizer for flowering plants containing iron and trace elements 1 to 2 times a week in the watering can. Remove faded flowers to promote new blooms. Once the flowering is over, potted plants can be replanted in the garden in partial shade.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
