Follow Primrose Hill Woodlanders on WordPress.I am fanatic seed-saver and grower with my tiny nursery area taking over as I try to grow more & more plants. I live on a small lake in Vermont with mostly shade to garden in hence, my love of all plants for shade. Leave a comment, I love reading what you have to say and I will always respond to answer any questions you might have Please come if you can as I’ll be bringing a selection of Primula and their woodland companions. The New England Primula Society will be holding their fall meeting that day with plans to work in the Primula garden and discuss the spring show. My next upcoming sale will be at the Berkshire Botanical Gardens on saturday September 21st. I did get a special order for a scarf from a nice lady that I am now working on! the larger wood display stand my good friend made for me will go to The Blossom Basket in Middlebury where I work part time in the winter. It worked ok but I would like to find one made of wood and possibly vintage, but for now this one will do.
#PRIMULA AURICULA SOCIETY PORTABLE#
I bought a hanging clothes dryer as a more portable displayer for the knits. I brought my knitted accessories with me, and even though I didn’t sell any there was lots of interest. Time to start planning where to add a few more blue beauties. So after the garden stroll and a new knitting project getting cast on I’m feeling much less blue and quite a bit more jazzed about how well the gardens did this year. I think the spring & early summer rains were so beneficial to the gardens along with the cooler temps all summer. this one also has never had so many flowers.
#PRIMULA AURICULA SOCIETY FULL#
It was huge and full of flowers while draping itself over an Azalea along the stream garden. lagodechiana…try saying that three time fast!Īnd lastly here is my lovely Aconitum x cammarum ‘Bicolor’.

It has got a long tongue-twisting name…Gentiana septemfida var. They can be a little tricky to grow outside needing well drained sites that have good light yet are shaded from the worst of the midday summer sun. Anyway back to our modest collection of about 100 varieties. I have moved this plant around so many times trying to find just the right spot for it and now I think I have. Here is a classification page from the Auricula and Primula Society. It bloomed in July and was the most glorious ever. Here we have another Gentian in the very small rock garden on the west side of the cabin. I also ordered a few Primula auricula from them and they sent the biggest most beautiful plants. Primula ‘Belarina Cobalt’ has sent up a surprise…and it is most welcome indeed! I am hoping it will be full of buds in the spring so I can dig it up for the spring primrose show at Tower Hill Botanical Gardens! I sent for this last spring from Sequim Rare Plants in Sequim, WA. They grow most their plants on site from seed, cuttings, grafting, etc. This extended fall has been so great! Cady’s Falls is the nursery that all of us at Rocky Dale Gardens look forward to visiting every year. There are more flowers on than ever and it has been in bloom for a few weeks already. Gentiana x macaulayi ‘Kingfisher’ purchased a few years ago at Cady’s Falls Nursery in Morrisville, VT. This fantastic plant is lighting up the front border!
