Primula PrimeTime Program Florensis

 

Primulas, also known as primroses, are among the earliest flowers to bloom in spring, providing spots of cheerful color while winter is fading away and most blooming plants are still dormant. The primroses in the primula PrimeTime series flower in perfect order, are compact and uniform, have identical colors in all series, and fewer PGRs are needed. 

Four Series, One Program 

The four different series in the Primula PrimeTime program are: 

Salome®

Cairo

Luxor®

Esna®

 

(Salome, Cairo, Luxor, Esna. Potting week 36. Pictures were taken of the flowering stage at the end of February.)

 

Primula Salome® Series

Salome is ideal for early spring sales between December and mid-February. This series requires low energy and fewer growth regulators which still results in good uniformity! Salome is all about big flowers on genetically compact plants. It has a compact habit, which means; more plants per meter. Salome needs less PGR and has a long shelf life without stretching.
