That's interesting - I have an idea I planted a lilac one last year but it had no bulb. Perhaps I bought it when it had already passed that stage...I can't find any others so I must have just got one rogue one!
Did the purple one come up while the white was still flowering? That must have looked amazing. I think you must have put pics on the garden gallery last year? I remember the pots and the shingle.
It is a Primula, its not a bulb it will sprout leaves out of the top, looks like a Denticulata, did I send you one last year? Bury it in a bit more Victoria.
Gardening on the wild, windy west side of Dartmoor.
I bought a collection of bog Primulas last spring - I just don't recall the 'bulby' stage. I'm going to keep a sharp eye on its development - learning something new all the time

Didn't see your reply Matt - do you think I should leave it uncovered then?
Definitely a drumstick Primula
Yeah I would leave it, mine seem happy enough, and all are producing new leaves
Deal!
Thanks for your help all
I had 2 Clumps last year and this is the only pic I could find, They gave me so many plants after they finished flowering

Hi Lyn,

I have two similar in unlabelled pots which I had assumed were primula. They're more green than brown and smaller but the structure is much the same
