December 8, 2010

Podivíte probably why the website devoted sukulentům want to write about Primula. Although it is beyond belief even among the classic rock gardens, such as Primula, found 100% succulent species. And what is even more interesting, these species are perfectly zimovzdorné. Today I would like to draw attention to the type of limestone rocks from the Alps, Carpathians and the Apennines - Primula auricula, ěkdy next to the miniature species Primula marginata. P. auricula creates up to 10 cm high, composed of solid rose succulent leaves. Their color is lime green, some species have bright green color of leaves with a distinctive white pomoučněním on the surface. As the only primrose tolerate part shade or full sun.

So, like all succulent plants, this requires Primrose well-drained sites with permeable, stony soil. So the best we protect the surface roots before winter ztlustlé přemokřením. For the rich flowering should be rather sunny habitat. In the shadow of the plant is creating huge leaf rosettes, but considerably less flourish. In the shade are more prone to various rotting. Watering should be more substantial during the warm summer. If the habitat is too dry, the lower leaves fall and plant drought přečkává only with top rosette.

Primula auricula has a yellow, slightly fragrant flowers. This species is very popular among breeders. This makes grown and developed a specialized collection of cultivars with flowers of soft orange tones over dark crimson to green. Solid and colorful flowers are glabrous or floured, with petals pinnate, with flowers or plnokvětými simple.

Then our primula, it is a cultivar Primula auricula 'Lilac Domino', to grow together with marl rock netřesky and sedum. At this station, with holding for many years and annually produces a rich floral handle. During the winter (2007 - 08) flowered in January even a few flowers, which lasted until April, when it started to correct the flowering stage.
