Perennials

There are many perennial shade-loving plants that will grow beautifully with primroses and hellebores. Companion plants that offer interesting foliage include ferns, hostas, brunnera, heuchera, euphorbias, etc. Other plants that flower at a similar time are violas, wood anemone, forget me nots, pulmonarias. For the later flowering delicate Japanese primroses we like aquilegias or Solomon’s seal. 

For the moisture loving Primula like candelabras, we suggest Japanese irises, astilbes, ferns, trollius, ligularia, rodgersias etc

Companion plants for Alpine primula, try saxifragas or gentianas.

We always have a few perennials for sale in the nursery. This list tends to change every year so we will put a few on-line when we get chance.
