| The white winter flowering heather and pink cyclamen had faded but were soon replaced by violas, primulas and grape hyacinth. |
| A month or so ago I called at a nursery in Stroud to buy a few primulas to give the garden pockets of bright colour. |
| Seeds of most hardy perennials, including bleeding hearts, columbines, phlox, and primulas, require a period of chilling to germinate. |
| Underneath are Himalayan poppies Meconopsis, primulas and trilliums, many of them also collected from the wild. |
| Once the primulas and violas go over, a few annuals will be stuffed in wherever they can fit to give colour over the summer. |
| We have columbines red, blue, and yellow, as we have tropaeolums, leschenaultias, and primulas. |
