Description
The Primula 'Mr Brouart' is a difficult-to-find hybrid primrose in the horticultural market. It stands out for the elegance of its double white flowers, warmed by a small golden yellow heart. Its flowering period extends from April to June, highlighted by large wavy light green leaves arranged in a rosette. This small and very hardy perennial is easy to grow in moist soil, in borders, damp rockeries, planted in humus-rich and moist soil, in gentle sunlight, in partial shade or even in shade.
The Primula 'Mr Brouart' is a horticultural hybrid, derived among others from Primula vulgaris, which can be found in our meadows and undergrowth. Primroses belong to the primrose family. The foliage of 'Mr Brouart' develops in rosettes, emerging from the underground rhizome to form a beautiful cushion. The 8 to 12 cm (3 to 5in) long, wavy and velvety leaves are a tender green. From April to June, short flower stalks, 25 cm (10in) tall, appear, bearing 3 to 6 beautiful flowers arranged in terminal clusters and adorned with a small bud in their centre. At full bloom, they are double and slightly turbinate. The heart of the flower is golden yellow.
The 'Mr Brouart' primrose will particularly thrive in humus-rich, fresh but well-drained soil, conditions that can be found in damp rockeries or rocky areas bordering a small waterfall. In borders or in pots on a balcony, this plant pairs well with companions of all colours, such as pansies, hostas, forget-me-nots, peonies, or creeping bugles. Primroses are perfect in borders, low-growing beds under the cover of leafy plants, in rockeries and lawns, among snowdrops and violets.
The primroses in our gardens are almost all perennials, sometimes annuals and rarely woody plants. Their cultivation can be either very easy or very difficult. Often, the climate is a determining factor for their survival; some species die if the summer temperature is too high, others if the winter is too humid or too cold, etc. It is a complex genus that we have been cultivating for 25 years, but to understand the very different ways of life of all the rare species, one must spend a lot of time with them and know that they do not forgive any mistakes. The ones in this catalogue do not all offer the same degree of difficulty, but they can all be cultivated by a careful amateur. Some are easy to raise, others less so. it's up to you to choose the ones you think you can master the cultivation of!

Planting and care
The Primula 'Mr Brouart' prefers humus-rich soils, always moist but well-drained, low in limestone. However, it tolerates heavy clay soils as long as the water does not stagnate, just like the stemless primrose. Although it fears harsh sunlight, it does not like too dense shade either. An exposure to the north of a wall, for example, suits it perfectly, or in the morning sun. Over time, it forms beautiful borders capable of living for many years if the location suits it.

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.
