Primula allionii Eureka


Ken Wooster's great triumph, a pure white allionii with almost no bad traits (it sometimes produces a four petalled flower I find). A lovely thing!

Primula allionii hybrid


Many years ago I would sometimes find seed capscules on P. allionii - I tried a few and got good germination. Most of the plants were nice - this one I think picked up something from one other hybrid I had (Lismore Jewel?). That original hybrid has gone and over the years my "allionii" has got better and better. The reason why I think this is a hybrid is because the yellow in the eye.
