Primula vulgaris subsp. rubra

Description

The mother-plants specimens were grown from seeds received as Primula woronovii.
Of course, that many var. and subspecies of Primula vulgaris have been included in the type species nowadays and if we follow the thread the accepted name is P. vulgaris ssp. rubra.

The name is, I think, a bit deceiving, especially for gardeners who will believe that the plant has red flowers. It can have red flowers but also light pink to white!
In the garden there is also a red flowered and a light-peachy flowered specimen growing close by so the seedlings may grow to flower in various shades.

Regardless of the name and color, it is a very tough Primula, the first to flower in our zone 5-6, somewhere in April or even sooner after the snowmelt and it is appreciated a lot for this reason.

Germination: easy, after 1 month of cold moist stratification. I usually sow Primulas in February (sow superficial), keep the pots at cold and bring them inside for germination somewhere in March/April.  The pots can also be left outdoors and they will germinate with the raise of temp. in late spring.
