    Hello all

    I hope you are well.

    I have a plant that was planted as part of the planting scheme in September 2019 and which disappeared early 2020, however, it is now showing growth.

    I have never been able to identify it, can someone please help?

    Is it Primula denticulata perhaps?

      Hello @Palustris

      It could well be as I know I have other Primula in the same area which is around the Water Feature and when the planting was done I was told that the plants in that area needed more water than the rest.

      Thanks

      Kevin

      I thought primula, going by the leaves, but its not one I've seen.
      Or at least not seen it at that stage in its growth.

          My P denticulata look just like that, bud forms early in the crown of the plant.

            Well if they're not Primula denticulata they're doing a damn good impression of them, Kevin! ;):biggrin:

                    If you want to increase your stock of them, they divide easily once the flowers have finished. Or from seed taken from the plant when they are still green(just turning to brown) and sown straight away.
