Primula vulgaris Belarina Lively Lilac Malvaviscus Parents of this 2010 crossPrimula 'Belarina Lively Lilac' is another cultivar in the superb English Kerley strain of winter and summer hardy primroses. The 7" tall x 1' wide rosettes of green leaves emerge in winter, and are topped, starting for us in late March with impressive clusters of amethyst flowers, each with white eye zone. Average to slightly dry woodland soils are best. You'll love tucking these around the woodland garden for an amazing spring show. Maintenance:
