Primroses, derived from the Latin word ‘Primus’ meaning ‘first’, are great plants to brighten up your garden in winter and prepare for spring. Primula ‘Castillian’ is truly an eye-catcher and blooms from January to March. You can enjoy brilliant red flowers on stems with beautiful accents of orange and yellow. It’s as if spring has already begun in your garden, a feast of color to welcome the new season!

Care tips

This plant thrives best in well-drained soil, where it gets some sun but also does well in partial shade. To make the flowering period last longer, it is smart to regularly remove the spent flowers. That way you can enjoy the floral splendor for longer!

The Primula plant dies in winter and sprouts again in spring unless it has frozen too hard (up to -5 °C). Just before the new shoots emerge, you can cut off or remove the old leaves.
