{"product_id":"bouquet-perfect-mandarin-primrose-72-cell-plug-tray","title":"Bouquet Perfect™ Mandarin Primrose - 72-Cell Plug Tray","description":"\u003cp\u003eMandarin carries big, warm golden-orange flowers, 2 to 2.5 inches across, that open early and keep coming for weeks. The plant grows into a round, full dome, so it looks like the top of a hand-tied bouquet whether it sits in a bed or a pot.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause the blooms are sterile, the show lasts longer than on seed-setting primroses. Use it to light up a shady entry, fill a spring window box, or edge a woodland walk where you can catch the light scent up close.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat it looks like\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLarge, flat, single-form flowers 2 to 2.5 inches wide in a warm golden orange, with clean, rounded petals and a slightly deeper tone near the center. Dozens of blooms crowd together to form a domed crown that nearly covers the plant. The leaves are oblong, crinkled and mid to bright green, forming a low rosette underneath. Overall the plant is a tidy, well-rounded mound 5 to 8 inches tall and 10 to 12 inches wide. At peak it reads as a solid cushion of orange flowers with a thin collar of green around the base.\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 Golden orange\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 Well-rounded, bouquet-like mound\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.
