Lovely photos, thanks every for the advice. I'll leave till next year. Must have missed them by a week as I called garden centres a few weeks back. I needed the green for the green bed at the school. Will be summer bedding and perennials coming out soon so they will be the show piece.
If you can find an online supplier, you can often ask to be contacted when they're in stock again Edrom Nurseries stocks a large range of primulas so it could be worth contacting them about it.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
We have more primroses this year than we have had for a while. I don’t give mine any attention or care and they reappear every year, although in different numbers and occasionally different places

My garden is a country cottage style, I don’t really like the unnatural coloured primulas, they don’t suit here although I do have a few.these are my favourites , looking windswept as usual 😀

You're right @Butterfly66 they just continue to reappear!!
Oh for a permanently moist soil.
I created an artificial ditch. I filled it with (confidential) computer print-outs and topped with compost. I grew candelabra varities for a number of years, magnificent. They never lasted more than 3 years. And they never sef-seeded. I had to collect the seeda sow them speciically. It became to much like hard work. NOw the ditch is ferns.

Hi everyone, is it too late now to buy these green petalled beauties ? I was told to call back end of march but everywhere is sold out. Thanks
James this Primula seems very popular in North America...less so here in UK. Quote link below...
"The rosette-forming Primula 'Green Lace' was
bred by Sandra Tuffin, who owned Uncommon Ground Nursery in Wardsville
Ontario, and introduced the plant into the trade in 2002. I first spied a
drift of this plant in 2007 at the Terra Nova Nursery's display garden
in Canby, Oregon. The lime-green flowers with yellow throats and red
veining covered the plants, obliterating the foliage beneath them"

Primroses occur naturally, but not rampantly. I have introduced cowslips, but some distance away. I grew some oxlips from bought seed many years ago.
These might be oxlips or false oxlips. What would you think?
