Primula auricula cultivars

The auriculas have a following all of their own, with special societies and shows. They are sub-divided into categories such as show (with sub-categories edged, self and fancy), alpine (which have no meal on the leaves, so are ideal outside), border, double and gold-laced. They can have amazingly patterned flowers and are often covered with meal. Many kinds are vigorous, and if well fed can do extremely well in pots.
