{"product_id":"col-6pk-car-bi-colx1","title":"Primrose 'Carmine Bicolour' (Primula vulgaris) – Hardy Spring Bedding Plants (12 Plants in 2 x 6-Cell Trays)","description":"\u003cp\u003ePrimroses bring rich, two-toned colour to the garden from late winter, and this Primrose 'Carmine Bicolour' has deep rose-red petals set around a contrasting pale eye. It makes a vivid, eye-catching display in spring and autumn bedding schemes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrimula vulgaris is a classic British garden favourite, loved for cheerful, long-lasting blooms and for thriving in cool conditions. This carmine bicolour is especially striking in mass plantings, cottage garden borders and mixed containers, where its bold colour holds its own beside other spring performers. Bees and other pollinators visit the flowers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou receive 12 plants, growing in 2 plastic 6-cell trays with one plant to each cell. They are ready to plant into borders, rockeries, patio pots, window boxes, troughs and hanging baskets. Primroses grow best in partial shade with moist, well-drained, humus-rich soil, and will take full sun only where the soil stays moist. They are fully hardy and frost tolerant. Water regularly but avoid waterlogging.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUpkeep is light: deadhead spent blooms to encourage repeat flowering and feed fortnightly with a balanced liquid fertiliser during the growing season. These are true perennials, so they will come back year after year if planted out in the garden. Primulas can cause stomach upset and skin irritation, so wash your hands after handling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCultural Information\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Primrose, Primula\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Primula vulgaris\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFully Grown Height and Spread:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approx. 15-20cm tall and 15-20cm wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low-growing, compact, rosette-forming\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect For:\u003c\/strong\u003e Borders, rockeries, patio pots, window boxes, troughs, hanging baskets, cottage gardens, mass planting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mid-green, crinkled, oval leaves forming a neat basal rosette\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlowering Time:\u003c\/strong\u003e Late winter to late spring, with flushes in autumn in milder conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlower Colour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Carmine bicolour, deep rose-red petals with a contrasting pale or yellow eye\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Position:\u003c\/strong\u003e Partial shade; full sun only where the soil stays moist\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Humus-rich, moisture-retentive, well-drained\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardiness:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fully hardy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaintenance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low maintenance, deadhead to encourage repeat flowering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeasonal Interest:\u003c\/strong\u003e Winter, spring and autumn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardy perennial, often grown as spring and autumn bedding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"KOKE House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54061538640138,"sku":"COL-6PK-CAR-BI-COLX1","price":22.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0957\/2479\/8218\/files\/2_96d3f482-09d8-4fcc-ae5e-c95ce3da90f4.png?v=1793895330","url":"https:\/\/kokehouse.co.uk\/products\/col-6pk-car-bi-colx1","provider":"KOKE House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
