With my new found interest in the Primula family I thought I would buy this plant at half price even though they all looked as if they were done flowering for this season.<\/p>\n<h3>Treatment of Primula Champagne White Rose<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>I wanted to be able to divide any plant I bought and thus selected one from about 30 with what I hope were a couple of crowns.<\/li>\n<li>I pinched out all the flower heads that were finished and cleared up some broken and damage leaves.<\/li>\n<li>I was pleasantly surprised that there was a lot of bud still to open and I am keeping it on a windowsill near my computer for a week or so.<\/li>\n<li>I will then take it out of the 6&#8243; pot and molly coddle it with a bit of fibrous mulch and a weak thank you feed.<\/li>\n<li>Hopefully I will be able to divide the separate crowns to produce more plants for next year<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Information on Plant label Primula Champagne White Rose<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>The good quality printed label has a couple of rose coloured flowers with typical yellow centres. The edges on the photo are stronger red than on the actual plant but I do not feel misled.<\/li>\n<li>Interestingly the label makes a virtue out of the Primula having been grown in the Lake District with a Union flag logo<\/li>\n<li>&#8216;Primula Collection&#8217; is the main heading Champagne White Rose is subsidiary but no reference to other items in the collection or who is responsible. (The retailer has put their name on a discount sticker \u00c2\u00a31 not \u00c2\u00a32.49.)<\/li>\n<li>Height and spread 15cmx15cm 6&#8243;x6&#8243; (Nothing to get concerned about although the leaves may die back a bit during summer before rejuvenating in autumn).<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8216;Suitable for;<\/strong> plant in sun or shade in fertile, moist but well drained soil&#8217; (well I do not intend drowning or starving the plant just riving it to pieces.)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Care <\/strong>Water well before planting and until established. (Since it will be late when planted out I will take care to water the plant)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a title=\"Spring 412 042 by brianpettinger, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/hortoris\/7115141351\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7133\/7115141351_8cc7cd218d.jpg\" alt=\"Spring 412 042\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Primula breeders have having a renaissance with several new introductions each year.
