juliae and other members of the Vernales Section which includes P. Primula x juliana hybrids are the delight of the gardener who wants a hardy, colorful plant for the border.(The term “vulgaris” refers to the true species commonly the term “acaulis” designates a hybrid). Seed germinates readily and is available from specialty seed sources. It is important to keep this and most other Primula species moist during the warm mid-summer months.
They need a good, rich, moisture retentive soil and dappled shade. Other color forms, such as pink and purple, are found on some subspecies. Single, soft yellow flowers top an eight-inch stem. This true primrose provides the parentage for the modern acaulis hybrids.
