A very slender cultivar. I got it from the members table at the AGS show at Exeter. I assume that this came originally from Jack Drake's Nursery and that it is the same as
'Drake's Form'. Barnhaven Primroses say (as 'Drakes Form'): "Lavender flowers on polyanthus stems. Particularly attractive foliage that is neatly serrated. Grow in gritty compost that must be well-draining but not dry out completely in summer." 'Pedicularis' writing in the Journal of the Alpine Garden Society in 1954 says: "We are indebted to Mr Jack Drake for a magnificent form of Primula marginata which he himself collected in the Alpes Maritimes. Will he please give it a Latinised varietal name , or a future generation of Primula fans will be in doubt as to whether he raised it in his own garden or not?" |
