Auriculas for Everyone by Mary A. Robinson
How to Grow and Show Perfect Plants
Auriclas are a species of primula - 2000 varieties of alpine primroses in a wonderful range of colours and forms, and can be grown in greenhouses, conservatories and in the right spot in the garden. This book offers a guide to buying, keeping and propagating auriculas.Auriculas -- whether in blood red, sunshine yellow, royal purple, or black and white -- have driven gardeners to extremes of obsession, as they attempt to breed and show the perfect plant. No wonder: these enthralling primrose Alpines come in a wonderful range of forms, as well as colors. An award-winning expert generously shares her knowledge, gathered in over 15 years of cultivating auriculas in her own nursery. Along with hundreds of photos to savor, you'll find out what to look for when buying, the different methods of growing (in the garden, greenhouse, cold frame, cool conservatory, or porch); propagation; and how to handle pests and diseases. Most impressive and helpful of all: an extensive directory with over 500 commercially available varieties. |
