{"product_id":"col-6pk-pri-cai-orax1","title":"Primrose 'Cairo Orange' (Primula vulgaris) – Orange Spring Bedding Plant (12 Plants in 2 x 6-Cell Trays)","description":"\u003cp\u003ePrimrose 'Cairo Orange' brings warm, tangerine-orange colour to borders, patio containers and hanging baskets, with a long run of flowers from late winter through spring. It is an improved polyanthus-type Primula vulgaris from the Cairo Series, known for its weather tolerance, compact habit and prolific flowering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe neat rosettes of crinkled, mid-green leaves stay low and tidy, so this primrose suits window boxes, pots and the front of a border. It also brings colour beneath deciduous trees and shrubs, and the early flowers are a useful source of nectar for bees and other pollinators. It is fully hardy across Britain and will come back year after year if left in the ground, though it is often grown as seasonal bedding.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou receive 12 plants, growing in 2 plastic 6-cell trays with one plant to a cell, ready to plant out in a mix of containers and borders. Choose a spot in full sun or partial shade where the soil stays moist and rich in organic matter. In warmer months it does best with some shade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWater regularly in dry spells without letting the soil become waterlogged, and deadhead spent flowers to keep new ones coming. A balanced liquid feed every 2 to 3 weeks in the growing season helps, and established clumps can be divided every 2 to 3 years. Primulas can cause stomach upset and skin irritation, so wash your hands after handling them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCultural Information\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Primrose, Polyanthus 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 perennial\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect For:\u003c\/strong\u003e Patio containers, borders, window boxes, hanging baskets, woodland gardens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Crinkled, mid-green oval leaves forming a compact rosette\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlowering Time:\u003c\/strong\u003e Late winter and spring, and again in autumn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlower Colour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tangerine-orange\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Position:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun to partial shade, in moist soil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moist, humus-rich, well-drained soil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardiness:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fully hardy across Britain\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 Late winter to spring, and autumn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardy perennial, often grown as seasonal bedding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"KOKE House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54061538443530,"sku":"COL-6PK-PRI-CAI-ORAX1","price":22.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0957\/2479\/8218\/files\/4_b1dd2ece-1f73-4ba5-8bd1-5b6ea05d77a4.png?v=1793895327","url":"https:\/\/kokehouse.co.uk\/products\/col-6pk-pri-cai-orax1","provider":"KOKE House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
