  • In the spring-flowering category, a whole series made the running in 2023. The Primula polyantha hybrid POLLYANNA with the varieties "Flame", "Frosty White" and "Sunny Yellow" from Kientzler Jungpflanzen in Gensingen. The series stands out as the first double flowering stem primroses from meristem culture. This means that they are true to variety and also really always double. Full and numerous flower stems guarantee a long flowering period. The flowering period starts as early as mid-February and lasts until May. Their habit looks like a bouquet and should be just the right choice for the premium segment and as a gift.
