About our Primulas...

"Thanks to the breeding efforts of Clifford Parks... there are new primula crosses that remain evergreen through summertime heat and humidity and also display a glorious parade of color in the heart of wintertime." 
-From 'Persistent Primulas' by Pam Beck in the January/February 2008 Carolina Gardener Magazine. 

These are hybrids developed by my dad, Dr. Clifford Parks of Primula vulgaris ssp. sibthorpii and the showy cultivated strains. These are exceptionally heat tolerant and grow clumps of impressive plants in moist shady garden areas. The color range is being developed from white, yellow, red, lavender to purple shades and different color patterns are being bred such as white picotee borders and bicolors with yellow shading into the other colors. Please inquire about larger quantities for resale.
