FAQ about Primula – White

What kind of soil suits primulas best?

Primulas thrive in moist, well-drained soil rich in humus and organic matter, with a pH of about 6.0-7.0. Avoid dry, sandy soil and clay that waterlogs, as this can lead to root rot. A spot in partial shade suits most primulas best.

How often should primulas be watered?

Keep the soil evenly moist but not wet. While they flower in spring, water two or three times a week if it does not rain. Water less after flowering but never let the soil dry out completely. Water the soil and avoid the leaf rosette.

Do primulas need pruning?

Primulas need very little pruning. Deadhead regularly during flowering to encourage new blooms. In autumn you can leave the leaves as winter protection, then remove any damaged ones in spring.

Which pests and diseases can affect primulas?

Slugs and snails love the leaves, and aphids and vine weevil grubs can also cause damage. Grey mould can occur in overly damp conditions with poor air circulation. Avoid overwatering and make sure drainage is good.

Can primulas be planted out in the garden?

Yes, many primulas are hardy perennials. Indoor primulas sold in pots in late winter can be planted out in the garden once the soil is workable. Leave the leaves as winter protection and divide old plants every three years to keep them vigorous.
