Belled Primulas
Belled primulas take their name from the bell-shaped flowers of these spectacular plants. Originating from alpine slopes of the Himalayan mountains such as Bhutan and Tibet, they will do well in garden situations if grown in the right conditions as they need plenty of water during the growing season. When they are happy they will self-seed abundantly, form quite large clumps and are often heavily perfumed.
Flowering period: Late spring - summer
Height: 30cm -1m
Culture: Can be grown in similar conditions to candelabra Primula. They will be happiest in bog garden conditions, pond edges or stream banks. They will also grow well in damp shady borders or in woodland settings. They look wonderful en masse but a clump of four or six plants will be quite effective in a small area.
