Enthusiast's Primroses

Museum pieces. These curiosities are the freaks which were sought after in the 17th and 18th centuries. Jack-in-the-green, a flower held in a ruff of leaves, Hose-in-hose, the calyx transformed into petals to give the impression of one flower inside another. Jackanapes, with a striped calyx, Gallygaskins, with a large ribbed calyx, and others. You may have read recently in the gardening press of ’the first available F1 hybrids of Hose in Hose Polyanthus’ being launched on the market. Just a reminder that Barnhaven have been selling seeds of Hose in Hose without a break for more than half a century! This year we can offer separate series of Jack in the Green or Hose in Hose. The shade card for both includes white, cream, mauve, violet, rose, coral, apricot, yellow, and many more. Unavoidably there will be a small and variable proportion of flowers with normal bloom.
