built by hand the renowned Barnhaven Primrose selections.
We are proud to offer the descendants of her breeding efforts.
This hardy, easy variety is offered as a mix of various shades of
coral, maize, pink, apricot, and orange. We adore it and it deserves
your love too!

N. Primrose--Cowslip
P. veris
6-12" h x 8" w | Zones 3-8
Primula means "the first little one of spring".
Cowslip is a much-loved English wildflower that
was once gathered by the armful to make wine. In early spring it
shoots up stems holding clusters of sunny yellow flowers, and
slowly spreads in average to heavy soils to form large cheerful
looking clumps. The perfect companion to spring bulbs!

M. Primrose 'Striped Victorians'
P. polyanthus
6" h x 6" w | Zones 3-8
Barnhaven Primroses selected this lovely dusky
hued charmer from the historic `Sutton's Blue' in
1948, refining its color palette until it was fit for release in 1957.
Described by the breeder as "veined and striped like Japanese
irises", it has deep blue to purple to lavender blue striped flowers
and dark green textured leaves in low rosettes. Humus rich, well-
drained soil and afternoon shade best. Variable color.

J. Mullein 'Snow Maiden'
V. phlomoides
3-4' h x 1-2' w | Biennial to short-lived perennial, zones 4-8 | Self sows
Garden writer Louise Beebe Wilder (1878-1938) appreciated the
"noble outline" and "velvet leafage" of mulleins. We also love their
easy care nature and long bloom time in early to late summer. The
open saucer-shaped florets along the strong stems are a lovely creamy
white with butter yellow stamens and are rarely without attentive
bee visitors. Provide neutral well-drained soils.

We love the way hollyhocks just keep blooming,
opening from the bottom of the stem to the
tips creating a lavish summer-long show. This
berry-stained selection has black raspberry
flowers and white or pale pink edges with
delightful variation, including single to double
blooms on the same stem. Grow against a fence
or in the back of the garden bed, with plenty of
air circulation to keep healthy.
