{"product_id":"col-6pk-pri-bon-cor-crex1","title":"Primrose 'Bonneli Cornish Cream' (Primula vulgaris) – Cream Flowering Spring Bedding (12 Plants in 2 x 6-Cell Trays)","description":"\u003cp\u003ePrimrose 'Bonneli Cream' brings soft, luminous cream flowers to the garden from late winter into spring, when little else is in bloom. You get 12 plants, growing in 2 trays of 6 cells with one plant to a cell.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBonneli is a continental primrose series, valued for its neat habit and long flowering season. The cream blooms are delicate but plentiful, and they make a classic display in borders, containers, hanging baskets and window boxes. The crinkled, mid-green leaves form a tidy rosette, and early bees will visit the flowers on mild days.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlant them straight into their final position or container. Choose full sun or partial shade, such as dappled light under deciduous trees or shrubs, in moist, fertile, well-drained soil enriched with compost or leaf mould. Full sun suits them only where the soil stays moist. Water regularly in dry spells, especially while they establish. They are fully hardy, so they cope with a British winter outdoors and do well in pots on the patio.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUpkeep is light. Deadhead spent flowers to keep the display going, and feed with a balanced liquid fertiliser every two to three weeks during the growing season. After flowering, lift and divide the plants, or leave them to naturalise in a woodland-style border. They are true perennials and will return year after year if left in the ground. Primulas can cause stomach upset and skin irritation, so wash your hands after handling them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor a coordinated spring display, pair them with contrasting primroses, violas, pansies or early tulips.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCultural Information\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Primrose\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 20-25cm 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, containers, window boxes, hanging baskets, patio pots, underplanting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mid-green, crinkled oval leaves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlowering Time:\u003c\/strong\u003e Late winter to mid-spring (January to April)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlower Colour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cream\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Position:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun to partial shade, in soil that stays moist\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moist, humus-rich, 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\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeasonal Interest:\u003c\/strong\u003e Winter and spring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardy perennial, grown as winter and spring bedding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"KOKE House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54061538377994,"sku":"COL-6PK-PRI-BON-COR-CREX1","price":22.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0957\/2479\/8218\/files\/3_c85a0575-a1a7-4ac0-aae7-846abdccbac4.png?v=1793895326","url":"https:\/\/kokehouse.co.uk\/products\/col-6pk-pri-bon-cor-crex1","provider":"KOKE House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
