| Seeds of most hardy perennials, including bleeding hearts, columbines, phlox, and primulas, require a period of chilling to germinate. |
| A large variety of shrubs have already been planted in the garden including thistles, dogrose, wild primulas and teasel. |
| We have two crocuses that have bloomed and the primulas are putting on a brave show of colour. |
| Once the primulas and violas go over, a few annuals will be stuffed in wherever they can fit to give colour over the summer. |
| Underneath are Himalayan poppies Meconopsis, primulas and trilliums, many of them also collected from the wild. |
| We have columbines red, blue, and yellow, as we have tropaeolums, leschenaultias, and primulas. |
