Primula Vialiia

Primula Vialiia

Question from Shoot User
1623 4
Good afternoon
Last June I planted in various positions of my garden about 60 plug plants of Primula Vialiia.
They all gradually died off and I expected that they should be showing signs of recovery by now but alas no.
Is this normal or have they gone forever?

    There's nothing to worry about,Primula viallii dies down completely in winter and won't reappear for a while yet,it belongs to the summer flowering Primulas which behave differently to the spring flowering types

    They are not as easy as the more common primrose and like acidic boggy soils, so if your garden is not acidic or boggy, then you may have planted in vain.. do wait until the spring to be super sure, as like David says, they come up in the next month or so depending on mildness of the weather etc.

    P.vialii is not lived even in the best situations, if you have a damp shade prospect putting in P. Japonica or any of the other candelabra types will do better.
