{"product_id":"belarina-berry-darling-primrose-72-cell-plug-tray","title":"Belarina® Berry Darling Primrose - 72-Cell Plug Tray","description":"\u003cp\u003eBerry Darling brings a color you rarely see in a primrose: a deep, solid burgundy red. Fully double blooms, shaped like tiny roses, open over and over from the first mild days of spring until late spring, because the flowers set no seed and the plant keeps putting its energy into new buds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt stays small, just 5 to 8 inches tall, which makes it a natural for the front of a shady bed, a woodland path or a spring container by the door. Pick a few flowers for a tiny vase; they hold up well indoors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat it looks like\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFully double, rose-like flowers about 1.5 inches across, each packed with ruffled petals in a solid deep burgundy red with no contrasting eye. The blooms sit in a tight cluster just above the center of the plant, almost hiding the leaves at peak. Foliage is a low rosette of oblong, crinkled, bright green leaves 4 to 6 inches long with a quilted texture. The whole plant forms a neat mound 5 to 8 inches tall and 10 to 12 inches wide. In full bloom it looks like a small bouquet of dark red roses set on a bed of fresh green leaves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGrowing it with lavender\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrimroses want cool shade and steady moisture, so give them a spot away from the lavender field, such as a woodland edge, a shaded front walk or the north side of the house.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGive it part to full shade and humus-rich soil that stays evenly moist but never waterlogged, especially while it is blooming. Hardy in zones 4-8; pull off faded flowers to keep the plant tidy and divide crowded clumps after bloom every few years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Primula vulgaris\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlower color:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deep burgundy red\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bright green\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low, rounded rosette\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5–8 in tall × 10–12 in wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSDA hardiness zones:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4–8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e part sun to part shade, full shade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom start:\u003c\/strong\u003e Early-April\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePeak bloom:\u003c\/strong\u003e Late-April\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom pattern:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long Blooming\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDeer resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderately resistant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePollinator value:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fair\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSizes and shipping\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne full 72-cell plug tray: 72 young starter plugs of this variety (cells about 1⅓ in. wide × 2½ in. deep), rooted and ready to pot up into quarts or gallons.
